sox isn't a problem by itself (it is available in Fedora), its only a
question of which additional formats it supports (via codec-specific
libraries), some of which are encumbered (AMR, MP3, WMA) and some not
(AU, FLAC, GSM, OGA, WAV, WV, and others).
That being said, should I proceed along the lines of Fedora?
