I built sox not long ago for my Mac (using MacPorts). There are apparently some more formats that it can be built to support than you've chosen to support in your build. Some I understand might imply licensing or similar issues (like mp3 encoding). But others, at least Ogg Vorbis, probably wouldn't pose that problem; certainly it would be handy if it at least supported as many unencumbered formats as possible. And Ogg Vorbis is already in OpenSolaris (packages SUNWogg-vorbis and SUNWogg-vorbis-devel).
Other than encumbered formats, was there a reason for (apparently) leaving others out? At the very least, I hope there would be no objection with a follow-up build of it that would do whatever the code provides for that can be done without legal difficulties (not that I'm asking for that; but it seems like something that a random volunteer could). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
