Hi Michael,

Great!  It's very good to heard that in principle tramp could support

It might has sense to refactor that part into a new function (see patch 
below).
The tramp could use this new function which just use the variable
`async-shell-command-buffer'.  Other things like 
`shell-command-dont-erase-buffer'
can perfectly be ignored by tramp: they are still not well established.

That sounds like the ultimate solution.
A partial solution could be to allow running >1 async commands as root
in the local machine _only_.  Then, `shell-file-name' and
`shell-command-switch' are the same.
Sometimes i need to execute more than 1 process with root priviledges in
my local machine: i do this using several terminals.
Running all the processes inside Emacs would be nicer.

Subject: [PATCH] shell-command: Refactor buffer creation for async cmd

* lisp/simple.el (async-shell-command-handle-multi-process):
New defun; handle the creation of a new asynchronous shell command
according with 'async-shell-command-buffer'.
(shell-command): Use it.
