Complex audio volume changes with ffmpeg

Question

Using ffmpeg, how much control can we have over the audio levels? For example, I would like to map an "M" shape over the program's timeline:

t0 - t1 : fade in from 0 to 1
t1 - t2 : play at full volume
t2 - t3 : fade out to 25%
t3 - t4 : play at 25% volume
t4 - t5 : fade in (from 25%) to full volume
t5 - t6 : play at full volume
t6 - t7 : fade out from 1 to 0

Can this be done? The combinations I've tried (of afade and volume, and using timeline editing) have not been successful so far.

Here is something that is close:

ina="infile.caf"
out="outfile.mp3"

time ffmpeg -i $ina -af \
"afade=enable='between(t,0,3)':t=in:ss=0:d=3, \
afade=enable='between(t,7,8)':t=out:st=7:d=1, \
volume=enable='between(t,8,12)':volume=.25:eval=frame, \
afade=enable='between(t,12,13)':t=in:st=12:d=1, \
afade=enable='between(t,15,18)':t=out:st=15:d=3" \
$out

.. but at the two middle points (the point where it fades out to 25%, and the point where it fades back in to full volume) there are glitches - audible sound clicks.

Answer 1

As an alternative to the (great) answer by @Mulvya, here is a method using the volume filter that produces the same output:

infile="infile.caf"
outfile="outfile.mp3"

ffmpeg -i $ina -af \
"volume=enable='between(t,0,3)':volume='t / 3.0':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,3,7)':volume='1':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,7,8)':volume='1 - 0.75 * (t - 7)':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,8,12)':volume='0.25':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,12,13)':volume='.25 + 0.75 * (t - 12)':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,13,15)':volume='1':eval=frame, \
volume=enable='between(t,15,18)':volume='1 - (t - 15) / 3.0':eval=frame" \
$out
