There is a small app, "timer" in the NVrec package (tools directory).  I 
initially wrote it for use with mp1e.  Simply give it a start and end 
time (in relative or absolute notation), and the command to run, and let 
it go... (It will start the command at the start time, and send it a 
SIGINT at the end time.)

There are command line options for controlling the mixer, just try "mp1e 
--help".
