I don't think features should be removed unless it's both causing a maintainence burden AND unused (with appropriate deprecation notice for a few years). libmagic is common anyways (because file(1) is), so it's not likely to be wasting users disk space or increasing download times; either. Honestly, libmagic is probably better-maintained than sox itself these days and I've been seeing regular bugfixes to it in Debian. And in my experience, few users follow mailing lists (or even blog posts/etc) and will not notice breaking changes until a distro ships something. Fwiw, I use libmagic outside of sox and file(1), and I've never had to deal with API or ABI breakage, there. And the popularity of dynamic linking means most users don't have to deal with it specifically for sox, either. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
