Command line utility to detect sound

[NickRob <npr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I would like to find a command line utility that will detect sound above a
certain volume and do something like terminate with a status or issue a
signal that can be trapped by another process. I haven't been able to find
anything, but using the words sound and detection together in google leads
inexorably to sound card detection!

Alternatively, which library/app would be the best one to start with if I
need to adapt something? I'm an experienced programmer, but not with sound.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Nick
