Audio preview

[nonetrix]

It would be neat if audio files showed the waves like so

From what I've read in the documentation displaying real time previews is not possible in lf.

Sure you could always generate a static preview but then again it all comes down to personal preference.

Feel free to submit a patch if you think it's worth looking in to.

You can use FFmpeg for this https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Waveform

	*.wav|*.mp3|*.flac|*.m4a|*.wma|*.ape|*.ac3|*.og[agx]|*.spx|*.opus|*.as[fx]|*.mka)
		[ ! -f "${CACHE}.jpg" ] && \
			ffmpeg -i "$1" -f lavfi -i color=c=black:s=640x320 -filter_complex "[0:a]aformat=channel_layouts=mono,showwavespic=s=640x320:colors=white[fg];[1:v][fg]overlay=format=auto" -frames:v 1 "$CACHE.jpg"
		image "${CACHE}.jpg" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"
		;;

Looks pretty nice when used with both chafa and exiftool

Terribly sorry, I don't use Linux these days which means I'm not able to test each and every diff.
I'm also thinking that a pull request doesn't necessarily need to be merged, the way I see it is that upstream should contain everything to get you going, and depending on what functionality you need you pull the pull requests and merge them. (think suckless)
