I'm having a strange problem here.  I'm using the "play" that comes with the 
sox in RHL 5.0 (sox-11g-6) to play various sound files.  Occasionally, I'd 
have problems with play just emitting a loud, high-pitched screeching sound.  
I attributed this to a corrupt sound file until recently.  I found out that it 
wasn't corrupt when I took a "corrupt" wav file from my Linux box and moved it 
over to my Solaris Sparc.  It played fine there.  I then went about trying to 
find other sound (in particular, wav) players and tested the "corrupt" file 
with that and it played fine.

I liked sox and found it supported a bunch of file formats.  I'd be willing to 
change if anyone can suggest a simple ($ play <soundfile>), yet powerful ($ 
play <justaboutanysoundfile>) replacement.  Maybe I've just got sox configured 
incorrectly?  (Can you even configure sox?)

Thanks,
pete
