Take the 2-minute tour ×  I asked this question before on
stackoverflow (
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5299338/filter-applause-from-
videos ) and got the hint to ask it here:  I am currently
watching a video from 27C3 and I would like to filter the
applause, as it is very loud. Is this possible? I have heard
something like this was made for Vuvuzelas.  I use Ubuntu. If
this filter would work via ffmpeg / Audacity this would be
great. If it is written in Python it would also be ok. I know
the normalization with the VLC-Player, but thats not a very good
solution  Here is an example:
