The manpage doesn't mention a ~/.soxrc file ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: robs (robs) Date: 2009-03-23 01:42 Message: Note that we now have SOX_OPTS (which doesn't necessarily supersede soxrc/sox.conf but may reduce its priority). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Chris Bagwell (cbagwell) Date: 2008-10-26 10:54 Message: A note about a related feature. SoX 14.2.0 will have a new --effects-file option. It reads a file and uses its contents just like user specified it on the command line. Adding a --files-file that works in the vein but for filenames and related options wouldn't be to hard to add. The main problem with current code though is that they are used in place of and not a complement of command line options. Reviewing the sample config file and requests for url/format specific default, I think the real requests seems to be limited to auto-setting --options and not so much short hands for filenames or effect names. Since we have the --effects-file now, who ever adds this can concentrate on just fixed and conditional option setting. I looked at libpopt a little bit and seems like it would be about the same amount of work to write custom alias support in a custom config file then it would to reorganize our internals to support it. The custom version would be much more flexible as well. libpopt is a nice concept though over all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reuben Thomas (rrt) Date: 2008-09-22 17:15 Message: A comment on the sample rc file: sometimes you say "similar to" a given command line option. The rc options should be *identical to* command line options, and the parsers automatically generated from the same source. I suggest that lines should look like this: [EFFECT|FORMAT =]OPTION... which means: for the given effect or format, use the relevant options (or if none is specified, always use them). You could add some pseudo-effect or format options. For example, for my use, I'd like to specify a large input buffer, but only when reading from the internet, so a "url" pseudo-format could be used: url = input-buffer=1000000 I suggest you look into using libpopt, as it already provides support for configuration files using command-line arguments. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Reuben Thomas (rrt) Date: 2008-09-22 17:10 Message: I want this too: I want to be able to specify a large input buffer when playing URLs. As far as the name goes, ".conf" is more logical, even if "rc" has historical currency. But it's not very important. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Pascal Giard (evilynux) Date: 2008-08-04 13:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=36773 Originator: NO I'm not arguing the feature itself but wondering why not use a sox.conf filename instead of the less frequently used *rc filename? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: robs (robs) Date: 2008-08-04 13:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27473 Originator: YES See attached file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360706&aid=2037990&group_id=10706 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
