Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

the OverCast podcast app has a great feature that detects silence and filler words and trims them out which can lead to great time savings. Would it be possible to similarly trim silence (or music?) in audiobooks and podcasts while playing them in Audiobookshelf?

Why would this be helpful?

In addition to playback speed controls, trimming out silence and pauses would let us listen to more content more quickly, getting the most out of our time.
