[linux-audio-user] creating audio-only dvds

[Kevin Ernste]

Ecasound will append also, an example exists on the official ecasound
examples page:

http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/examples.html

The relevant section says:

<SNIP>
"Cut, Copy and Paste

   1. ecasound -i bigfile.wav -o part1.wav -t:60.0
   2. ecasound -i bigfile.wav -y:60.0 -o part2.wav

Here's a simple example where first 60 seconds of bigfile.wav is
written to part1.wav and the rest to part2.wav. If you want to combine
these files back to one big file:

   3. ecasound -i part2.wav -o part1.wav -y:500

      part2.wav is appended to part1.wav."

</SNIP>

The "-y:" flag is the offset of the next "track" in seconds.  A chain
of these should get you what you want.
