Thanks.  I created a branch called softpad for these changes to go
into.  People who want this feature should help test it out.

I took a simpler (I think) approach for now.  We'll see if it works out.

Here's a brief list of the other changes I made before committing your
patch.

Used a little more descriptive setting names by prepending "Sched".

Don't apply soft padding at the start or end if corresponding hard
padding has already been added.  Hard padding is limited to a
resolution of 1 minute so they can't currently be mixed.

Pass softend to the recorder when a recording starts.  This is needed
so the recorder can pass it back to the scheduler if the master
backend gets restarted.
