I hope this isn't the wrong place for feature requests. I have been using 2.8 builds for doing lossless editing of mp4 files, and very much appreciate this feature. Now that I'm comfortable with the workflow, I have been wishing I could use the same interface for lossless trimming of m4a audio by itself, without video. It seems like a natural feature for avidemux, since all the parts are already implemented, and hopefully wouldn't be a difficult thing to enable. Is that a reasonable request? :D

I don't think it fits here, but that is not a big deal, splitting a topic is not hard :-)

Quite the opposite, the application would need to be effectively rewritten for that to become possible. There is zero support for audio-only editing at the moment.

Fair enough, I haven't looked at the code, I was just thinking of the gui as a nice way of passing parameters to underlying engines which *do* support audio containers (and avidemux is obviously capable of importing these formats). Feel free to nuke this topic or move it to wherever it belongs.

Raw: yes. In a container: no (not yet, at least).

I guess I was (wrongly) assuming that audio-only mp4 wasn't really different to handle than files with video. Even just being able to import, cut, and export raw AAC would be nice, but I understand that this would probably be considered a "fringe" feature.
It can export raw aac. Would be great if it could be able to at least import (as track)/export m4a too...
