A colleague of mine once wrote Audio::aKodePlayer when we needed to play short parts of mp3's. It might still work. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

Perhaps FFmpeg::Command. I don't know that there's one implemented in Pure Perl or that links into a C library. There's some other ffmpeg modules, but they all seem focused on video or simply deparsing the container format.
