Package: sox Version: 14.0.0-5 Followup-For: Bug #460503
For me, too, sox fails to play anything. This is a .wav file that plays via aplay and also plays via sox on an old RedHat installation. $ play data/BP.wav play soxio: Failed reading `data/BP.wav': unknown file type `auto' $ file data/BP.wav data/BP.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz $ However, this fails: $ sox data/BP.wav -t alsa default sox soxio: Failed reading `data/BP.wav': unknown file type `auto' $ sox -t .wav data/BP.wav default sox soxio: Failed reading `data/BP.wav': unknown file type `wav' $ This fails with and without the libsox-fmt-ao package installed. However, unexpectedly, I note that libsox-fmt-base was not installed(!). Certainly, it's not something I ever removed. Install that, though, and I get the older problems: $ play data/BP.wav play soxio: Failed writing `default': unknown file type `ao' $ And, when I finally install libsox-fmt-ao, then it actually works! So, clearly, there are dependency problems associated with sox. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sox depends on: ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libltdl3 1.5.26-1 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: ii libsox-fmt-ao 14.0.0-5 SoX Libao format I/O library pn libsox-fmt-base <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
