Morning,
I've used the very useful 'vsound' app to grab some news-clips in a foreign
language I'm learning.
The output is in .wavs, apparently Microsoft PCM, as in
----------------------------------------------------------
sox -V news_sep3-2.wav -r 44100 -s -w tmp.wav
sox: Detected file format type: wav
sox: Chunk fmt
sox: Chunk data
sox: Reading Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 8000 samp/sec
sox: 16000 byte/sec, 2 block align, 16 bits/samp, 13908800 data bytes
sox: Input file news_sep3-2.wav: using sample rate 8000
size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 1 channel
sox: Input file news_sep3-2.wav: comment "news_sep3-2.wav"
sox: Writing Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 44100 samp/sec

sox: Output file tmp.wav: using sample rate 44100

sox: Output file: comment "news_sep3-2.wav"
sox: resample opts: Kaiser window, cutoff 0.800000, beta 16.000000
sox: resample: rate ratio 80:441, coeff interpolation not needed
__________________________________________________________
If I then try to make an audio CD from that, I get
----------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /new/audio/Wavtest
% sudo cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -audio -pad tmp.wav
cdrecord: Inappropriate audio coding in 'tmp.wav'.

So I try another sox routine, to get adcpm encoding:
% sox -V tmp.wav -a -b next.wav mask
and get the same error from cdrecord.
There must be a way. Any idea?
Nick
