Hi,
I want to split an audio file containing crow calls at points
where no crow call is. The "silence" in between is not exactly
"silence" but some low level noise.
Searching the internet for "split audio at silence" and similiar
gives me this link
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/318164/sox-split-audio-on-silence-but-keep-silence
which uses a program called "silence" to detect the silence.
Unfortunately I can't figure out, what package contains that program
or from where I can download that program.
The input audio is a flac file and I don't want to convert this into
any lossy audio format to preserve as much as possible of the signal.
Where can I get this program ?
or
How can I split an audio file at points of defineable
level of "silence" into several audio files in one go?
Cheers!
Meino

It doesn't look good. Either it isn't available or no one who has it
installed uses pfl. It finds this but I don't think it is what you want.
http://www.portagefilelist.de/site/query/listPackageVersions/?category=net-irc&package=irssi&do#result
Mostly replying so that you can check out the pfl tool. It helps
sometimes to find out where a command comes from. It's handy at times.

There is no binary in Portage providing the binary "silence":
$ e-file silence
* net-irc/irssi
Available Versions: 1.0.0 1.0.7 1.2.1 1.2.2
Homepage: https://irssi.org/
Description: A modular textUI IRC client with IPv6
support
Matched Files: /usr/share/irssi/help/silence;
However, there is `mp3splt`, provided in the package `media-sound/mp3splt`.
It's described in the question provided as a comment to your UNIX S.E.\ link.

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

Hi Dale, hi Ashley,
thanks for all the help and informations! :)
In the meanwhile I found another way to split that file "as is"
(flac remains flac) with audacity.
Audacity contains a "sound finder" and "silence finder" analysis
tool, with which it is possible to set marks/regions in the file,
which mark sound and silence.
The tools are configurable. This way one can tinker with the
parameters until a near perfect match as acchieved and then
write out the files with File->Export->Multiple.
The visual representation of sound and silence is by far better
then test-listening all created files after each iteration with
any cli solution.
Cheers!

You need 'media-sound/sox' and then use the silence effect. Note that
it is _one_ command on _one_line in that answer on stackexchange
sox -V3 audiobook.mp3 audiobook_part_.mp3 silence \
1 0.5 0.1% 1 0.5 0.1% : newfile : restart
See 'man 7 soxeffect'

Infineon, denn die Produzieren ja auch in Dresden ...). -- Konrad Neitzel
