Why setting events = 1?

As everything is doing both init_common_record_context() and
parse_record_options() why not just move the
init_common_record_context() into parse_record_options(). If you need
to do something special (like set events = 1 for profile) have that
done in parse_record_options() if the cmd is CMD_record. Yes, you need
to pass the CMD_* to parse_record_options() in this case.
