	By the way, you probably already have "play".  It's part of
the sox distribution.  That's been standard in RedHat and derivatives
for a while, and I assume in other distributions as well.  I'm running
Fedora Core 2, and play comes from sox-12.17.4-4.fc2 there.

	The sox documentation is extensive, and I believe that it can
deal with a number of formats.  I'm not sure about mp3, however.
Don't those need closed source "codec"s?  Someone will tell us.

	Now if only I could get the shound inputs on the ASUS mother
board to work.  (I'd been happily converting records to digital until
my laptop died last year.)
