 *  @brief execute an external command
 *
 * This class allows launche an external command-line application
 * opening a full-duplex connection to its standard I/O.
 *
 * In Ardour context it is used to launch xjadeo and ffmpeg.
 *
 * The \ref write_to_stdin function provides for injecting data into STDIN
 * of the child-application while output of the program to STDOUT/STDERR is
 * forwarded using the \ref ReadStdout signal.
 * \ref Terminated is sent if the child application exits.
