Package: sox Version: 14.0.0-5 Severity: normal
Trying to convert a raw file, I saw a sox(1) manpage example but it doesn't seems to work, check this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=voice-memo.raw count=200 200+0 records in 200+0 records out 102400 bytes (102 kB) copied, 0.033446 seconds, 3.1 MB/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ sox -r 8000 -u -1 -c 1 voice-memo.raw voice-memo.wav sox soxio: Failed reading `voice-memo.raw': unknown file type `auto' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ ls voice-memo.wav ls: voice-memo.wav: No such file or directory Then I installed libsox-fmt-base and it worked OK. But there is a problem, libsox-fmt-base isn't a required sox package dependency, only a recommendation. So I think the error message must be changed to something like "unknown file type, maybe you need to install libsox-fmt* ?". Also the manpage must be changed, because the functionality described in it isn't the same as the one provided by the sox package (the one that provides the manpage). I think it will be good if you keep the examples in the manpage but add some notes describing which additional packages do you need to run each example. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sox depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.22-4 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libsamplerate0 0.1.2-5 audio rate conversion library ii libsox0 14.0.0-5 SoX library Versions of packages sox recommends: pn libsox-fmt-alsa | libsox-fmt- <none> (no description available) pn libsox-fmt-base <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
