I suppose one advantage to sox is that it supports a number of > backends: OSS, ALSA, etc. Your patch uses both aplay and sox: * add a new option -b to saytime * saytime -b alsa calls aplay (requires alsa-utils) * saytime -b oss calls sox -t ossdsp (requires sox and libsox-fmt-oss) It is not very good in view of package dependency; I have difficulty saying alsa-utils || (sox && libsox-fmt-oss) in debian/control. I want to let sox do everything if it can. How about this: * add a new option -b to saytime * saytime -b alsa calls sox -t alsa (requires sox and libsox-fmt-alsa) * saytime -b oss calls sox -t ossdsp (requires sox and libsox-fmt-oss) * saytime depends: sox, libsox-fmt-oss | libsox-fmt-alsa
