The old script no longer works for the new INFO 321 lectorial format, where we need to skip parts of the recording. We need to be able to specify multiple “active” and “skip” portions, with the “skipped” portions being replaced with a “fast forward” message. This requires some time arithmetic and more complex command line wrangling. It also requires generating a bunch of intermediate recording fragments, which are then concatenated to create the final podcast. See INFO 321 2014 podcasts for examples of commands.
Recommend writing in something other than shell script! (Perl?)
