Ah, OK, I didn't realize you wanted you wanted to fade out immediately
(as opposed to fadiing out the last few seconds of every song
as is typical for some radio stations).

OK, I thought you wanted something like a crossfade effect in MPD
where you fade out every song. However, fade-in does not seem
to work right if seeking.
But just trying "fade 5 =0 5" seems to work right as long as you
do not seek, it just sounds horrible with a lot of silence :<

Ah, a few lines below, there is:
Effects which modify the length of the audio is not recommended here,
as seek functionality will be impaired.
I can make the following change (wording suggestions appreciated!):
--- a/Documentation/dtas-player_effects.txt
+++ b/Documentation/dtas-player_effects.txt
@@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ They are applied in the order described.
- ReplayGain (simple vol/gain changes)
- anything which does not change the length of the audio:
vol, stereo, highpass, lowpass, loudness, bass, treble, equalizer, ...
+ - ...or the fade effect for fading tracks out.
Modifying source effects should introduce no extra gaps in playback.
Effects which modify the length of the audio is not recommended here,
