New Record Button

In working on the recorder for the last few days, I realised switching between the Home and the Record tab can become very tedious. To help avoid the need to do this, I've added a new button on the home tab (just to the left of the play button):

It mean't implementing a new checkable split drop-down button but it seems to work well. Clicking the top part of the button stops whichever recorder is recording (or both). If not recording it will manually start whichever recorders have one or more of the record input/output options connected.

All the functionality still exists, but the new one click button makes manual recording much easier - and no tab switching and you can easily start both recorders simulataneously. I'll probably leave the record tab for the moment but I've never really liked it so expect it to disappear.

As for actual record functionality I've fixed both recorders so that if auto record is enabled and a manual recording is started they don't automatically stop - you now have to manually stop them.
