Would that make sense to a computer program? You can pause playback, but you can also put Audacity into "pause mode" before you start recording. If Audacity is stopped and you press spacebar, how would Audacity know if you mean Audacity to start Play or if you want to enter Pause mode? Swi...

There are instructions for crash recovery on the wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Crash_Recovery
