Hi Cygwin Team,
1st sox problem:
in Cygwin 1.7.28 sound is broken. (sox + play)
I followed all hints as reply to my first post last week.
$ play blip.wav
blip.wav:
File Size: 1.33k Bit Rate: 94.4k
Encoding: Unsigned PCM
Channels: 1 @ 8-bit
Samplerate: 11025Hz
Replaygain: off
Duration: 00:00:00.11
In:100% 00:00:00.11 [00:00:00.00] Out:1.25k [======|======] Clip:0
Done.
==> BUT I DONT HEAR ANYTHING, but same file works with other windows
players (==> soundcard + driver + speaker = ok).
2nd sox problem:
setup for sox* packages seems to be broken too (download incomplete msg).
It is the first time I have problems installing cygwin-packages.
It is server independent (ftp:*.de).
-------------------------------
Possible solution: Why not using sounder.exe (freeware) which works
without any setup and can play RIFF-WAVE-PCM and RIFF-WAVE-MP3 from
command line.
Together with aplay.exe (my c-code to emulate linux aplay player (using
sounder internally).
Install this way:
--
wget http://www.physik.tu-berlin.de/~aleks/aplay.c
wget http://www.elifulkerson.com/projects/downloads/sounder2013/sounder.exe
gcc -O1 -o aplay.exe aplay.c
cp aplay.exe sounder.exe /usr/bin/
