>From what i've been able to find, sox identifies the raw output of the audio devices (for voxware at least) as follows : /dev/audio as .au and /dev/dsp as .ub converting to and from those formats works nicely with sox. If you cat the file from /dev/dsp try naming it filename.ub then convert it to aiff with something like : sox filename.ub -r 44100 -w filename.aiff resample then mpeg_musicin -l3 -ms -p2 -s44.1 -b128 -e filename.aiff filename.mp3 can be used to produce an .mp3 file playable by mpg123, xaudio, splay, etc The quality using this is not perfect, or even extremeley high, but it's usable. If you really want to move it from mono to stereo, you can always use sox's split effect to copy the one channel into two. Again, not perfect but it does work. Of course, you can also use xwave, NAS, DAP, etc to record at the settings you want, then mp3 the resulting file with relatively little effort.
