Package: sox Version: 14.0.0-5 Severity: important sox useds to work fine on my computer (I use it as notification sound player in KDE instead of Arts).
Since (at least) last upgrade, sounds doesn't play anymore: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav ALSA snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format error: Invalid argument play ao: Could not open default device: error 5 play soxio: Failed writing `default': If I try to switch to OSS driver in libao: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav libao - Unsupported number of bits: 32.play ao: Could not open default device: error 5 play soxio: Failed writing `default': /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav is a "standard KDE sound" (22050Hz, mono, 16bit, PCM). Playing sounds works very well with other apps (amarok, mpg123, etc...) My sound card is an Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo 2. I use alsa snd_cs46xx driver (various kernels >=2.6.21) . ALSA OSS emulation is enabled. I encountered some buffer size problems with this sound card and jackd (for instance). Maybe this could be a hint... As sox used to work fine for me, and is not working anymore, it is a serious functionnality regression.
