The sox7.linux.tar.Z contains sox 7.0 adapted to play
and record sound files under Linux. 

sox is a program for converting sound files between several formats such
as .au, .snd, .voc and .wav.

To use the recording and playback feature under Linux, create the
following symbolic link:

	ln -s /dev/dsp /dev/dsp.sbdsp

Playing is possible by using the /dev/dsp.sbdsp as the output file. For
example sox sound.wav /dev/dsp.sbdsp

The sox7.linux.tar.Z contains the complete source. If you already have
the sox 7.0, you may use the sox7.linux.diff to patch your own copy.

Sox is created and maintained by Lance Norskog (thinman@netcom.com). I
have just adapted it for Linux (see sox7.linux.diff).
