i don't think that you need to pay someone to do it;  this sounds like
something that already available tools will do and not anything related
to cdparanoia (changing the audio you've just gone to some effort to get
perfect?  blasphemy! =)).

i'm thinking specifically of sox(1) which allows you to modulate the volume,
but to really fade, you'll probably have to chop up the wav into the
main piece, and about 12 1/4th second bits at the end and then soxify
those last bits with decreasing volume, and then string it back together.
maybe you do need a programmer after all, it just shouldn't be a massive
effort.

luck++;
