I think it's a pretty flexible solution if no other software matches exactly your desire. The "Transmit" and "Output" settings may be of help for you too, since you can configure what to do automatically for each recording once is done (sending to FTP, mirror to a folder or execute an external tool -say for cleaning your oldest files?-, and also you automatically set a new file name pattern (sequence number and others, so you could always easily find your 'last' or even older records). See also the "Record Settings", from its detailed features page with screenshots: the program allows you to set a " maximum recording time", and choose what the program has to do once this limit is hit: stop or start recording a new file, which seems convenient for you. The most important feature: "Record only when you are speaking with voice activated recording". Seems that RecordPad could fit, althought not free.

some options only available via command line, not via user interface (e.g.no support for MP3 due to licensing issues.

Just saving as WAV is possible at the moment. go back to something I just said: left click the notification icon to save the recorded audio to a WAV file which you can play (right click brings up the window again).You would need to add the application to the Autostart folder for the moment. whenever my PC is on: not implemented yet.being inputted into the microphone: the source can be selected if there are multiple.in the background: once configured, the window disappears and changes into a notification icon.constantly records the last X minutes of audio: yes, configurable time span.
