[ANN] dtas 0.15.0 - duct tape audio suite for *nix

[Eric Wong]

Free Software command-line tools for audio playback, mastering, and
whatever else related to audio.  dtas follows the worse-is-better
philosophy and acts as duct tape to combine existing command-line tools
for flexibility and ease-of-development.  dtas is currently implemented
in Ruby (and some embedded shell), but may use other languages in the
future.

Changes:

    dtas 0.15.0
    
    There's a couple of minor bugfixes and features that's been
    sitting around for a while in git.  Internally there's some
    garbage reductions so player processes might be a bit smaller.
