In my version, 12.16, you can also use it to extract either the left or right channels. Here's the bit from the man page: avg [ -l | -r ] Reduce the number of channels by averaging the samples, or duplicate channels to increase the number of channels. Valid combinations are 1 - 2, 1 - 4, 2 - 4, 4 - 2, 4 - 1, 2 - 1. The -l or -r option is not really averaging but either duplicates or leaves just the left or right channel, depending on if your increasing or decreasing the number of output channels. It's odd that it has this functionality, given the existance of 'pick'. Geoff.
