I'm ambivalent for the "sox" command.  My scripts/makefiles already
parallelize and I'll sometimes use -M with "|sox " to process each
channel individually.

However, I strongly prefer to keep --buffer-size small for "play"
interactivity, so MT would be ineffective there.  "play" is almost
always limited by playback speed anyways.
