Description

Pause determines the location of silences in a audio file for use in fragmentation of large recordings, studies of pause duration, and the like. It generates both a nicely formatted table intended to be read by people and a simple tab-delimited file easily parsed by software.

Changes

Version 2.4

• The format of numbers in raw silence files has been changed to eliminate thousands separators, which confuse other programs that read these files.

Version 2.3

• Messages and silence information have been neatened up and some errors fixed.
• Numerical formats have been internationalized.
• Long options are now provided if getopt_long is available.

Version 2.2

• Autoconfiguration has been set up.
• Pause has been internationalized. No translations are yet available.

Version 2.1.2

• This patches a bug in the calculation of the number of residual samples at the end of the file to ignore. Hitherto it just caused a trivial error in the number of samples ignored, but on some systems it causes a core dump on a divide-by-zero error. (This is embarassing. I distinctly remember carefully ordering these calculations when I modified the program to use libsndfile and otherwise updated it. Evidently bit rot can move an entire statement up a few lines. :) )

Version 2.1.1

• A stray debugging message that wrote on stderr was eliminated. It didn't do any real harm when pause was run standalone, but it made successful runs look like failures to tcl, which was a problem for SndBite.
• A bug was fixed in which the final progress line was printed even if the quiet flag was set.

Version 2.1

• Modified to use libsndfile to read input.
• Eliminated generation of output intended for L3 editor.
• Added generation of output in the form of three tab-delimited columns.
• Updated progress reports.
