Free Software command-line tools for audio playback, mastering, and
whatever else related to audio.  dtas follows the worse-is-better
philosophy and acts as duct tape to combine existing command-line tools
for flexibility and ease-of-development.  dtas is currently implemented
in Ruby (and some embedded shell), but may use other languages in the
future.

dtas 0.13.0 - -player-related fixes and improvements

Not much since 0.12.0:

* "dtas-tl aac" implemented for adding tracks after the current
  track in dtas-player(1).

* dtas-player now implements software volume control to
  simultaneously control the volume of all sinks.
  dtas-console remaps '0'/'9' keys for software volume control
  to match mplayer(1) behavior.  '7'/'8' now adjusts the ReplayGain
  preamp volume.  I'm still considering changing the 'r'/'R' keys
  for repeat cycling and moving ReplayGain cycling to 'g'/'G':

* dtas-console shows the paused player track, and trim/shuffle/repeat
  statuses.

* all comments loaded from YAML files intended for dtas-splitfx(1)
  are stringified.

Other than that, I enjoy using the "dtas-tl edit" feature from
0.12.0+ to modify the tracklist very much :)

There's a couple of changes to the experimental stuff hasn't been
documented at all and even more subject to change than the rest
of dtas...

Not yet, I haven't thought that much about it, yet.

Can you file an RFP (request-for-package) with Debian?
I haven't done that in many years, but can look into it in a few
days/weeks if you don't have time.

Thanks for your interest.

Changes:

    dtas 0.13.1 - dtas-tl encoding bugfixes

    This release addresses encoding and escaping-related bugs affecting
    the use of "dtas-tl edit" (and to a lesser extent, "dtas-tl cat").
    Filenames with characters requiring shell-escaping were not
    round-tripped correctly, causing movement/addition of such files
    (which may not be properly encoded to any encoding) to be handled
    incorrectly.

    There are also some mlib bug fixes, but the mlib API and CLI are
    currently unstable and undocumented...

    4 changes since 0.13.0:
          dtas-tl: hopefully fix up encoding issues
          dtas-tl: shell-unescape cat output
          mlib: fix foreign-key ordering issues with delete
          dtas-mlib: avoid redundant '/' in dumped pathname
