-SoX 
- 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
- 
-The default Slackware install of SoX lacks MP3 support, presumably for legal 
-reasons. As transcode is to video, so SoX is to audio; therefore, to have 
-maximum flexibility in your multimedia studio you will want to create a custom 
-compile of SoX. 
- 
-Note 
- 
-If you don't feel like re-compiling Sox is worth the trouble, you can probably 
-do much of the typical SoX tasks (such as transcoding,​ sample rate conversion, 
-and so on) with ffmpeg. 
- 
-Then download the sox source code and Pat's SlackBuild script from your local 
-Slackware mirror, and rebuild with as much codec support as you can manage. For 
-example: 
- 
- ​./​configure --with-distro='​Slackermedia13'​ 
---with-ladspa-path='/​usr/​lib64/'​ --with-oggvorbis=dyn 
---with-flac=dyn --with-amrwb=dyn --with-amrnb=dyn --with-wavpack=dyn 
---with-alsa=dyn --with-ffmpeg=dyn --with-oss=dyn --with-sndfile=dyn 
---with-mp3=dyn --with-gsm=dyn --with-lpc10=dyn --with-ao=dyn 
---libdir='/​usr/​lib64'​ 
---mandir='/​usr/​man/'​ 
- 
-Once your new version of SoX is compiled, install it using the upgradepkg 
-command>:​ 
- 
-  * If you built a newer version of SoX than the one that shipped with 
-    Slackware, then issue the command 
- 
-          # upgradepkg /​tmp/​sox-x.x*t?​z 
- 
- 
-    Where x.x is the newer version number. 
- 
-  * If you built the same version of SoX as the one that shipped with 
-    Slackware, then issue the command: 
- 
-          # upgradepkg --reinstall /​tmp/​sox-x.x*t?​z
