Yes, works well except the signons.sqlite, which should be normal.

Take a look at sox. Eg, the following from 'man sox',

Hi,
I'm having problem flushing cache cleanly to disk -- I'm trying to have
KVM directly access my real HD. Theoretically speaking, if I only allow
one system (host or guest) to access the partition at a time, it would be
safe, right?
This is how I do:
- mount the partition in host
- update
Hi,
Which tool can help me decode the Unix time? E.g., strings like
1257624539, 1258162046, 1257623988, 1257709563, etc. they are about 68
days ago.
Thanks

Using Lenny? -- the '-I' will be gone soon. It is not even in Squeeze's

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is some easy alternative Alsa devices for
/dev/dsp.
The reason I'm asking is that the flash-player in my web browser always
blocks others to access /dev/dsp. One simple example,
$ cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy

Hi,
What's the recommended way to deal with dormant package maintainer?
The following bug has been reported for over 2 years, which is "an
extremely easy fix". Patch is also available.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431297
However, the problem still remains:
$ mp3rename -v -p
dar_cp is similar to the standard 'cp' command, except it
does not stop copying when an I/O error is met. Instead,
it skips a bit further and continues to copy the rest of
the file, as much as possible.

Most important underlying requirement is the compatibility (e.g. glibc,
