SoX Update Request

[SamK]

Home Page:   http://sox.sourceforge.net
Dowload:   http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.3.1

The newest version now provides for mp3:

• Constant bit rate encoding is user selectable (not just 128 kbps)
• Variable bit rate encoding
• Write support for ID3 and VBR tags

In accordance with the guidelines from Jason:

12 days have elapsed since the request was raised and the maintainer has not responded.

Would any of the regular packagers be willing to submit the update ?

I'm sure christmas time was busy for everyone, so let's not judge the non response negativly.

I don't call mysel a regular packager but I will gladly make an update.

It was not my intention to be in any way disparaging.  If/as/when the original packager reads this topic I hope it not judged as such.

@Jackob
Once again you have been most helpful - thank you.

It has been uploaded to the repository.

[SamK]

Thanks.

The recently submitted update has been compiled without MP3 support.  Would it be possible to resubmit it including MP3 support? This was the way in which previous version worked.

[SamK]

Until the omitted mp3 support is included in the present version, is it possible to re-add the previous version which does include mp3 support back into the TC3 repo?

Perhaps as a far from ideal and temporary but OTOH instant hack - if it works which is not guaranteed without trying - you could attempt to use the sox extension from 2.x repo which includes mp3 support.
'ldd' should show if all dependencies on libs are met or not.

YMMV
