[Feature Request] Bleep instead of mute

[TheTawnyFool]

I was wondering if you could add a flag to add a generic cursing BLEEP sound, perhaps allow a custom .wav to be used, instead of muting?

I appreciate the suggestion, but with the way I'm handling the processing of the audio file (using a volume envelope, not splitting together and reassembling an audio file) I just don't see how it would work without major rewriting that I'm not interested in taking on right now. If somebody else wanted to tackle this I'd consider reviewing it as a PR, but otherwise I think I'll have to decline this one.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I beleive it can be done with fmpeg -i input.mp3 -af "volume=enable='between(t,5,10)':volume=0[main];sine=d=5:f=800,adelay=5s,pan=stereo|FL=c0|FR=c0[beep];[main][beep]amix=inputs=2,
volume=enable='between(t,15,20)':volume=0[main];sine=d=5:f=800,adelay=15s,pan=stereo|FL=c0|FR=c0[beep];[main][beep]amix=inputs=2, volume=enable='between(t,40,50)':volume=0[main];sine=d=10:f=800,adelay=40s,pan=stereo|FL=c0|FR=c0[beep];[main][beep]amix=inputs=2" output.wav

FFmpeg sine. I might fork the project and see if I can get it working. If I can, I will submit it for submission into your code. Again, thank you so much for responding and the code for this utility.

Ah, I didn't realize it could be done inline like that with that sine filter. In that case, I don't see why not. It wouldn't support the custom .wav file, but for a beep it should be doable. Thanks for the suggestion. Reopening.

Awesome, excited to see it! I am not sure about custom .wav also, I just really need the Beeping, so this will be great for my needs. Thank you so much!

Things are pretty busy for me right now but I'll try to get to it as soon as I can, probably in the next couple of weeks.
