I am working on a simple Python GUI which will play sound effects and songs at 
the push of a button. Audio only. On Windows. For use in a theater during live 
performances. 

In general I need to be able to start at some arbitrary location, fade in, play 
some portion, and then at some arbitrary location fade out over some duration. 

For example given a 1 minute sound clip, start at 4 seconds in, fade in to 80% 
volume over 3 seconds, play for 23 seconds and then fade to zero volume in 6 
seconds. 

I believe given all the parameters for that I could use ffmpeg to produce a 
file that could then be played with ffplay. 

(If you have a better idea let me know!) 

But one issue I need to address. During a show it may be necessary to end a 
sound effect early and it should fade out or it will sound awful. Is there a 
way to tell ffplay to immediately fade out a sound? The fade out time could be 
prespecified. 

Thanks!
