Uf da, that sounds like a bit of work.  I messed with it a little, and it 
seemed to slice the music as well, but I didn't save a file yet.

Sort of unrelated, there was discussion earlier about cinelarra not having 
Ubuntu support.  At the time, I think dapper was the latest supported by 
the guy that supported it.

I noticed today that he's released Feisty debs as well.  I tried it on my 
dapper box, but it's WAY overkill for what I need.
