3    Hi,
4
5    I want to split an audio file containing crow calls at points
6    where no crow call is. The "silence" in between is not exactly
7    "silence" but some low level noise.

11    However, there is `mp3splt`, provided in the package
12 `media-sound/mp3splt`.
13    It's described in the question provided as a comment to your UNIX
14 S.E.\ link.

20    mp3splt primarily works with mp3s, but can also support ogg, which
21 can be a
22    container format for flac. I've never used it myself, but it looks
23 promising,
24    providing you are OK with placing your flacs inside an ogg.

28 The package media-sound/mp3splt has use flag "flac". If set mp3splt can
29 directly read and write flac files.

31 I have used mp3splt to successfully split podcast files for burning to a
32 CD. It has many options that allow tuning of the split points. I found
33 it a pain to setup, but now that setup in complete it works reliably.
