However, the sox play and rec scripts result in pretty poor sound quality,
since they just squirt the converted data at the dsp device without any
buffering. I have written a program called rawrec (available in woody)
which can record or play raw audio with good buffering. I use it with sox
to record and play back different sound file formats.
