hi All,
long time since i posted here, and caliber is as great as ever.

a year ago I was looking for some automated way to sync up audio book (mp3 or such) with an ebook text. I saw the epub3 specification etc. but i could not find a tool to automatically generate the SMIL file for a large existing audio book.

I just searched again and found out that the aeneas package (phyton library that can generate the SMIL file automatically) is now free, open source and in github.

http://www.readbeyond.it/aeneas/

I"m wondering if anyone tried to use it, and if it may be possible to integrate this into the calibre ebook editor. this will be an amazing feature and will solve the long standing discussion about how to store audio books in calibre

any chance this feature can be put on the roadmap?
