Soundfile-specific programs

as WAVE files (.wav). The command option --help will
give instructions for each program, e.g. subtract --help
will give the usage information for the subtract command.
- subtract -- subtract one soundfile from another
- envelope -- add an amplitude envelope to a soundfile
- silence -- generates a soundfile which contains silence
- extract -- makes a mono soundfile from a channel in stereo file.
