Probably less than a hundred - but likely more than a couple dozen. Without libmagic, the extension is the only information as to the filetype - right? I get quite annoyed with applications that solely depend on a portion of the filename when the _content_ of the file can be used to determine what the file is. Why are you so eager to removed from the source if you can just leave it out when you build? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
