It's already there, presumably because it was useful to someone. I'm against removing features merely because one person lacks the imagination to see their utility. If the situation were reversed, someone sending a patch to add this feature, I'd be asking for examples of when it is needed. Change without reason is always misguided. -- Måns Rullgård ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
