I could (and have) write wrappers around sox, but since sox seems to
change it's "API" all the time that's not such a nice solution. I
guess/hope ecasound is more stable with regards to it's interface, would
that be a better option?
Are there other languages, c++ or c for instance that have the
functionality I'm looking for build in? I might consider letting go of
my beloved python if other languages have something available as standard...
You can load and save samples in Python without any 3rd party module, using the
standard library: http://docs.python.org/library/mm.html. That said, I would
recommend that you use Audiolab instead, as mentionned on this thread.
Then, you do not need any API to perform such simple operations as slicing,
splicing, mixing and fading. All you need is a couple of loops, and a few
additions and multiplications.
