Command-line audio render for potato owners!

We know we can render video from command-line. The VSE GUI just freezes for potato pc owners. Guess what? When it comes to audio rendering, there is no such option. A parameter like "-a" for audio should be there. I'm surprised there isn't one already!

Actually, -a is already used as argument for rendering an animation instead of a still picture. It could remain as simple as -ao (alternatively --audio-only ) nonetheless.

IMHO it's not enough. There should be also a way to force audio render by setting the file output or the -F argument to an audio format.

This would require to also add the audio formats to the supported command line formats.

* @-L0Lock- * What are you saying? I never said there isn't an option to render animations!

* @El_Fraudo * And I didn't either. What I said is that the command -a you're suggesting for audio only is already used for animation, and so that another command would be necessary.
