SoX--- This file contains information specific to the MacOS X version of SoX.Please refer to the README file for general information. The sox executable can be installed anywhere you desire.  It is aself-contained statically linked executable. If the sox executable is invoked with an executable name of soxi, play,or rec it will perform the functions of those applications as definedin included documents.  Symlinks are included with this packagebut you can also make your own. Acknowledgements---------------- The sox exectables included in this package makes use of the following projects:   SoX - http://sox.sourceforge.net   FLAC - http://flac.sourceforge.net   LADSPA - http://www.ladspa.org   libid3tag - http://www.underbit.com/products/mad   libltdl - http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool   libsndfile - http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile   Ogg Vorbis - http://www.vorbis.com   PNG - http://www.libpng.org/pub/png   WavPack - http://www.wavpack.com Enjoy,The SoX Development Team Appendix - wget Support----------------------- SoX can make use of the wget command line utility to load files overthe internet or listen to shoutcast streams.  It only needs to besomewhere in your path to be used by SoX. Please consult wget's homepage for access to source code as wellas further instructions on configuring and installing. http://www.gnu.org/software/wget Appendix - MP3 Support---------------------- SoX contains support for reading and writing MP3 files but does not shipwith the dylib's that perform decoding and encoding of MP3 data becauseof patent restrictions.  For further details, refer to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues MP3 support can be enabled by placing Lame encoding library and/orMAD decoding library into a standard library search location suchas /usr/lib or set LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to location. These can be compiled yourself, they may turn up on searches of the internetor may be included with other MP3 applications already installedon your system. Try searching for libmp3lame.dylib and libmad.dylib. Obtain the latest Lame and MAD source code from approprate locations. Lame MP3 encoder  http://lame.sourceforge.netMAD MP3 decoder   http://www.underbit.com/products/mad If your system is setup to compile software, then the following commandscan be used.  Note: since SoX is distributed as a 32-bit i386 binary,the library must match that format as well: cd lame-398-2./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -m32" LDFALGS="-arch i386"makesudo make install cd libmad-0.15.1b./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -m32" LDFALGS="-arch i386"makesudo make install Appendix - AMR-NB/AMR-WB Support-------------------------------- SoX contains support for reading and writing AMR-NB and AMR-WB files butdoes not ship with the DLL's that perform decoding and encoding of AMRdata because of patent restrictions. AMR-NB/AMR-WB support can be enabled by placing required librariesinto a standard library search location such as /usr/libor set LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH to search path. These can be compiled yourself, they may turn up on searches of the internetor may be included with other AMR applications already installedon your system. Try searching for libopencore-amrnb.dylib andlibopencore-amrwb.dylib. Obtain the latest amrnb and amrwb source code fromhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr cd opencore-amr-0.1.2./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -m32" LDFALGS="-arch i386"makesudo make install If that does not work, then try this: cd opencore-amr-0.1.2./build_osx.sh Appendix - LADSPA Plugins------------------------- SoX has built in support for LADSPA Plugins.  These plugins aremostly built for Linux but some are available for OS X.The Audacity GUI application has a page that points to a collectionof OS X LADSPA plugins. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/plugins SoX will search for these plugins based on LADSPA_PATHenviornment variable.  See sox.txt for further information.
