you might be able to do this with ecasound's noise gate: -enm:threshold-level-%,pre-hold-time-msec,attack-time-msec,post-hold-time-msec,release-time-msec Noise gate. Supports multichannel processing (each channel processed separately). When signal amplitude falls below 'threshold_level_%' percent (100% means maximum amplitude), gate is activated. If the signal stays below the threshold for 'th_time' ms, it's faded out during the attack phase of 'attack' ms. If the signal raises above the 'threshold_level' and stays there over 'hold' ms the gate is released during 'release' ms. http://www.wakkanet.fi/~kaiv/ecasound/Documentation/ecasound_manpage.html -Eric Rz.
