A multi-process audio transcoder

Caudec is a BASH script for GNU/Linux that transcodes audio files from one format (codec) to another. It leverages multi-core CPUs with lots of RAM by using a ramdisk, and running multiple processes concurrently (one per file and per codec).

- Updated to 1.7.5:
  * new -2 parameter: convert mono and multichannel audio to stereo
    (upmix / downmix), using proper channel mappings;
  * '-r cd' preset now implies '-b 16 -r 44100 -2'
    (includes automatic conversion to stereo where applicable);
  * new -z parameter: produce machine-parsable output;
  * added support for AIFF and CAF (Core Audio File);
  * directories are now accepted as input: caudec will
    automatically find all eligible files within those directories
    (use in conjunction with 'ignoreUnsupportedFiles');
  * new 'ignoreUnsupportedFiles' configuration parameter: set to
    true to prevent caudec from aborting when some of the input
    files are unsupported (false by default);
  * -t (testing file integrity) can now be used with all lossless
    codecs, using hash metadata (-H);
  * added SHA256 and SHA512 hashing;
  * renamed 'CRC' to 'CRC32'; backward compatibility with files
    tagged with 'CRC=' is maintained;
  * check internal MD5 hash whenever possible,
    to detect potential codec bugs;
  * new 'enableColors' configuration parameter: true by default,
    set to 'false' to disable coloring of human-readable output;
  * new 'brightColors' configuration parameter: true by default,
    set to 'false' to use darker colors
    (enableColors needs to be true);
  * -G parameter (apply gain) and -S parameter (compute Soundcheck
    data) can now take an arbitrary value
    (signed number from -99.99 to +99.99);
  * significantly sped up computing album gain;
  * check the output of replaygain tools more thoroughly;
