audenc for Linux

[microchip8]

I've written a small batch shell script for Linux to watch some directories I put audio files in.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/audenc/

I hope it's useful to some. Enjoy

PS: There is no separate audio subforum for Linux so I'm posting it here. In case a mod decides to move it to another place, I'm fine with that :)

ChangeLog for version 2.8
* Added -help option and moved the examples to it.
* Added -r option for resetting the config file. Useful for when the user has installed an audio encoder after the script has
generated its config file and thus can't find the newly installed encoder.
* Added -sc option for sanity check.
* Added -ec option for editing the config file. This adds a new EDITOR variable to the config file and bumps the version to 5
* Small code improvements.
* Updated the man page.

ChangeLog for version 2.9

* Replaced some if conditionals in the -sc option with direct 'test' checks
* Cosmetics
* Updated the man page

ChangeLog for version 3.0

* If using the aacplusenc encoder, provide an option in the config file to use MP4Box to store the audio in an m4a container.
This updates the config file to version 7 and adds MP4Box as dependency.

ChangeLog for version 3.1

* Added support for tagging when using the aacplusenc encoder. Requires neroAacTag
* Added support for encoding to DTS audio. Requires the dcaenc encoder which one can get from: http://aepatrakov.narod.ru/dcaenc/.
This bumps the config file version to 8
* Updated the man page

ChangeLog for version 3.2

* Added support for the Opus audio codec

ChangeLog for version 3.3 and 3.3.1

2014-07-16 - audenc 3.3.1
* Typofix: greep -> green

2014-07-15 - audenc 3.3
* Added support for the FDK-AAC encoder (aac-enc)

[microchip8]

ChangeLog for version 3.3.2

* Bugfix: overwriting the config options on the command line for fdk-aac did not work so using something like audenc aac:opts="-r 128000 -a 1" indir outdir had no effect when using fdk-aac and the options from the config file were used instead
* Print the M4A var values when using the -sc option
* Merge the checking code for aacplusenc and fdk-aac

[microchip8]

ChangeLog for version 3.3.3

* Bugfix: conversion failure due to the $ext var being set to m4a when using MP4Box to pack the audio in m4a container
* Default to signed 16-bit little endian WAV format

[microchip8]

ChangeLog for version 3.3.6

* Silence MPlayer warnings

[microchip8]

ChangeLog for version 3.3.7

* Use MP4Box to add tags when using FDK's aac-enc and aacplusenc encoders instead of relying on neroAacTag
* Update to the default encoding values in the config file

[microchip8]

ChangeLog for version 3.3.8

* Added -mpeg4 switch to MP4Box
* Removed the 'track' -itags property for MP4Box. It is not needed
