I tried playing a 24/96 free download from Gemmel, hoping that SOX would
downsample it - but it didn't. No audio output generated at all!
First I tried with the .wma file and get the error:

What version of SC are you running - it looks like you need a later
version of SOX. From memory you need SOX 14.2 or later.
I'm using SC 7.3.4 so I guess(?) it's got the latest SOX. How can I
check which version is installed (in Linux)?

Anyone tried musicgiants for downloads? They have some DRM free 24/96
and 24/88.2 downloads as well as 16/44.1 WMA selections. The 44.1
downloads have DRM applied but of course, there are ways around that.

In my File Format Conversion Setup, the only settings that show the
ability to select SOX are all for Ogg Vorbis files.
For FLAC file format, I have:

I *think* you set FLAC - FLAC - Disabled and FLAC - WAV - FLAC
Which means the built in (as in built into the SB) FLAC decoder is

Nothing strange about that, it's still 24/48 which sounds just fine.
