iPhone ShouldStartLoad fires once per click?

In my UIWebView when an anchor is clicked I catch it in ShouldStartLoad and always return false to cancel it.

AVAudioRecorder - Continue recording to file after user stops recording by leaving the application and then re-opens it

Can this be done? And if not, how far down towards Core Audio do I need to go (what method of recording should I be using instead)?
