[arch-general] Wavpack support in Sox
Having recently migrated from Ubuntu, I notice that while Ubuntu's Sox package didn't support encoding to mp3, it did support Wavpack encoding and decoding, whereas in Arch, it supports mp3 encoding, but Wavpack seems to be unsupported. Am I missing an add-on that will make Sox support Wavpack, or do I need to rebuild the package with Wavpack support? ~Kyle

just open a feature requesting support.

If you already have wavpack installed, simply recompile the package from abs would have wavpack support included.

But it wouldn't depend on "wavpack" which certainly is not what Kyle wants.

Yes, the package dependencies would be incorrect, but we have a working application that suits Kyle's needs. The point is, he can have a quick-and-dirty fix right away.
Best Regards,
The rebuild did work. I will file a feature request as well, so that sox doesn't have to be rebuilt in order to use wavpack if it's installed. It seems sox should depend on wavpack, at least as an optional dependency. Thanks for the help. ~Kyle
