Hi Jan, this was working OK until we got to a point where the internet
feed was about 2 minutes behind the source.
It varies from about 10 seconds to as long as 3 minutes. The Innovonics
601 does not seem to have a buffer that big.
I have accepted this as a vagary of the internet.

# gone back to just cut at 5 min and 1.3 sec
# this is a debug line

#sometimes that gap at the end is too short so this is the double check
lops it at 5:01 the follow on is too tight
sox -V3 allthenews.wav justthenews.wav trim 0 5:01
