You can use the threshold gate for this: ecasound -i huge-sample.wav -o trimmed-sample.wav -ge:1,1,0 Depending on the type of silence (total, noise, ..), you may need to play with the -ge params (see man ecasound(1)). PS And remember to set the correct sample format with "-f" if you don't want to change the audio format parameters. -- http://www.eca.cx Audio software for Linux!
