Ok, in that case what I said before stands. In this case, app_queue is
responsible for starting the mixmonitor application, so it simply doesn't
do so until the calls are connected.

I checked the issue report you mentioned in the other message, so that
seems to be in order. You might want to chime in on that issue as well
since issues with more activity tend to be prioritized over others. That
said, I do feel the severity of this is pretty minor and it might not even
really be considered a bug at all. I think getting the file created and
ready before recording might even be considered an optimization. Even then
though, getting rid of it if we never start recording is pretty simple.
