Having resolved this problem last year I just can't find the solution this year. I should have noted the solution but didn't. Google searches just tell me how it used to be i.e. $ sox foo.wav -e stat I can't get it to work and I don't understand what it's complaining about: gena@orchid:~$ sox soaps/desert_island_discs_-_Barry_Manalow.wav -e stat sox FAIL sox: --encoding: `stat' is not one of: signed-integer, unsigned-integer, floating-point, ms-adpcm, ima-adpcm, oki-adpcm, gsm-full-rate, u-law, mu-law, a-law. gena@orchid:~$ sox soaps/desert_island_discs_-_Barry_Manalow.wav effect stat sox FAIL formats: can't determine type of `effect' Nor do I understand what it wants: Effect usage: stat [ -s N ] [ -rms ] [-freq] [ -v ] [ -d ] Any help would be appreciated. -- Gena four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software: * The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0). * The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1).
