ardour provides some CLI tools that can be useful, such as ardour6-export. These are built when activating the 'dummy' backend. Can this be added to the ebuild? I have locally confirmed that simply adding the backend compiles the tools, and maybe adding a USE flag for this is wanted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

(In reply to Arve Barsnes from comment #0) > My simple patch with a 'cli' USE flag: If it adds no dependencies (does it?) there's probably no need for a USE, building unconditionally would make sense.
No new dependencies as far as I know. The tools are only making available some functions that are already available in the GUI anyway, so I can't imagine there would be.
thanks for the suggestion, having a look at it right now.
