:: DESCRIPTION
: SoX is a command line program that can convert most popular audio
: files to most other popular audio file formats.
: It can optionally change the audio sample data type and
: apply one or more sound effects to the file during this
: translation.
:: There are two types of audio files formats that SoX can
: work with. The first are self-describing file formats.
: These contain a header that completely describe the
characteristics
: of the audio data that follows.
:: The second type are headerless data, or sometimes called
: raw data. A user must pass enough information to SoX on
: the command line so that it knows what type of data it
: contains.
