This is rather a philosophical question than a technical one: it is part of UNIX mentality to have simple tools that can be put together to complete complicated tasks. Practically seen, if the original poster was educated with the principles of UNIX design, he wouldn't try to find a specialized tool to perform a simple task.

I used a script like this (I just rewrote it from the top of my head, so
this one is untested):
EXT="mp4"
DEST="/home/michael/music"
for F in *.${EXT}; do
N=${F/$EXT/wav}
mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile "${DEST}/${N}" "$F"
normalize "${DEST}/${N}"
lame --verbose -q 2 --abr 192 "${DEST}/${N}" "${DEST}/${F/$EXT/mp3}"
done
The catch with this over-engineered and occasionally inefficient script was
that I would use it for both random audio formats and video files to extract
the audio track (think presentation-to-podcast-like conversion).

Also swappiness configuration must be taken into account. Physical memory and memory usage patterns from application perspective count too. And of course the required availability for the application is an important factor. All I am saying is that when thorough evaluation of parameters like the above is out of scope, there is probably no good reason to have swap on RAID. -- Michael Iatrou -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
