Subject: Fadeout (using during linux startup ;)

Hi everyone,

as a tribute to good old times, I startup my linux box (archlinux) by playing a random module (begins to play before services are started). It leaves around 20 seconds before the desktop is loaded. (I wish it was longer ;)

Anyway. I thought : why not use the &quot;timeout&quot; option set to, about 30 seconds, not to bother the user (that is to say, myself ;). The problem is that the timeout options interrupts the song in an abrupt way.

Well my question is... Would it be possible to fade-out when the song timeouts ? :)

(yes, I know, this is quite futile blabbering ! But I used to play mods when at the very beginning of my Amiga boot sequence :)

You can do that with sox. This fades in at 2 seconds and fades out at 10 seconds.

[code:1:cfd92b32d8]$ uade123 --stderr -f /dev/stdout fc14.arcane-theme |sox -t wav - -t wav - fade 2 10 |aplay[/code:1:cfd92b32d8]
