No, that isn't possible. Sorry. In your specific case, however, a workaround is possible. If you override input sample encoding as 32-bit signed integer instead of float, the values will be copied untouched. Since the output is headerless, it doesn't matter what sox thinks the samples are. -- Måns Rullgård _______________________________________________ Sox-users mailing list Sox-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-users
