The syntax of sox is: sox [INPUT file options] input_file [OUTPUT file options] output_file You told sox that the input would be 16 Bit 8 kHz stereo, which it probably is not. Try something like this: mpg123 -s test.mp3 | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c 2 - \ -t wav -r 8000 -w -c 1 out.wav Regards Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
