useful but buggy
by Ben Crowell - Nov 20th 2003 14:22:44
I use sox a lot, and find it very useful. However, it does have some bugs,
and I've never had any luck getting in touch with the author about them,
after trying all three e-mail addresses he has listed publicly. (Some
mails bounced, others got no response.) The bugs I've encountered
are: 1. Doing "speed 0.5" can cause it to go into an endless loop and
fill your hard disk. (This seems to occur with any number less than about
0.7.)
2. The split command doesn't work the way the man page claims it does;
you have to do "-c 2" instead.

Actually, you have to do a bit more; to get the (l)eft channel:
sox (inputfile) -c 1 (outputfile) avg -l
or the (r)ight:
sox (inputfile) -c 1 (outputfile) avg -r
The -c 1 is an outputfile-switch and tell it you only want one channel
output.
Additionally the RH9-supplied version is buggy and the avg-filter will do
straight nothing.
