Thanks for the hint. I already tested escaping the commas with '\' but with hours:minutes:seconds. This didn't work.

Now I tried with pure seconds, an this worked. Here is my command:
$ ffmpeg -ss 03:00 -t 01:30:50 -i in.mp3 -f lavfi -i life=s=320x240:mold=10:r=30:ratio=0.1:death_color=#C83232:life_color=#00ff00 -af volume='not(between(t\,2791\,2911))':eval=frame,volume='not(between(t\,5397\,5457))':eval=frame,atempo=1/1.1/1.3,aresample=48000/1.1,asetrate=48000 -vf format=yuv420p -crf 39 -shortest out_1.3x.mp4

I tried several versions to escape the collons, but found no solution.
I think, that there must be a solution similar to the examples here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#Examples-5

Does one have a clue, how it could work?
