% [Q,SR] = gen_random_queries(IDs,Dur,Noise,Seed)
%    Generate a cell array of random queries for testing the
%    fingerprinter.  IDs is a cell array of ID strings to 
%    indicate the files.  Dur is the duration of the excerpt to 
%    randomly pull from the file.  Noise is a level of noise 
%    to add (0 => no noise).  Return Q as a cell array of 
%    waveforms, one for each entry in IDs, that can be passed to
%    eval_fprint.m. 
%    Optional Seed will initialize RNG to a fixed point.
