Sound processing
liquidsoap can be used to process / filter sound either in a streaming pipeline, or used "offline" to directly produce an audio output (file).
See https://www.liquidsoap.info/doc-1.4.2/reference.html#source-sound-processing

Doesn't seem to work with a WAV file, but ogg + mp3 seem OK!
Doesn't work with mono source material -- default seems to be stereo...

How would you output a mono audio stream?
