Re: [aclug-L] .au question

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What you need is a program called "sox".

Usage is fairly simple...

sox filename.snd filename.wav

*should* accomplish what you need.  You may want to rename it to .au
first, if that command-line doesn't work.  sox is included with most
distributions, but if you can't find it, the manpage says that the
latest version is at http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/cbagwell/projects.html.
