Depending on the actual implementation, you might not be able to- it's 
common to write into a temp file and at the trigger time close & rename, 
which takes some time; that rename could happen after a seconds boundary 
depending on system load. Someone would need to look at the code to really know.

You may be better off with a cron job that looks for "01" files and renames 
them; run every segment_time but a few seconds delayed; something like 
"rename 01.m4a 00.m4a *.m4a".

(probably not relevant here, but it's always good to post the full command 
output)
