rate really wants to be 30000, or your note will have a frequency off by a factor of 10. But that is not the problem here. Perhaps revdep-rebuild or rebuilding sox by hand? Usually when sox is having problems after you explicitly specify the file format (by -t raw) that means you have some sort of linking error with your libraries. Hum, by any chance you are using sox-14.0.0? My desktop is still on 12.17.9 and has no problems, and a quick search suggests that the unknown file type problem also affects Debian and other distros. I will take a look using my laptop later tonight to see if it is a problem with sox-14.0.0. W -- Willie W.
