In Ardour's case you can't touch any GUI control while exporting, but yes, if you could then sure. Still that's besides the point, just go and smoke a cigarette while things are exporting. I had this a couple of times. A Very long session, then next iteration of sound-design a small change somewhere around 01:12:00:00 is needed .. and I don't want to wait for 90+ min only to bounce the whole thing again.
