High-Level Audio Editing Language?

[Bill McGonigle]

I seem to recall some audio geeks on this list.  I'm curious if  
anybody knows if there's a Free high-level audio editing language.   
I'd like something that is to audio as Perl is to strings.

For example, I want to take a recorded phone call (that I've made  
with an asterisk script) to the local movie theater and trim it at  
the second DTMF tone for '2', so I can e-mail the important part.

I'd like to write something like:

   audiofile = <stdin>
   start_time = index( audiofile, dtmf(2), 2)
   newaudiofile = sub( audiofile, start_time, length(audiofile)- 
start_time )
   print newaudiofile

Dreaming?

-Bill
