Userfs is dead, but there's a coda+podfuk combination which can let
you do the same. Podfuk is at
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html.

Yes, this might be better: coda works at file level -- that means that
podfuk would do copy of whole audio track to hdd, then serve it from
there.
Nfs is completely okay for this: no writes -> no deadlocks. No
directories -> no problems with handles. Take a look at older version
of podfuk to do that ;-).
So you "only" need to write audio layer into midnight. (Cool, isn't
it?)
