Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sox
Trying to use sox to convert file: ----------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sdfasd$ sox a0000001.voc a0000001.wav sox soxio: Failed reading `a0000001.voc': VOC file header incorrect ----------------------- I found more information at this page: http://www.cybercom.net/~dcoffin/rca/ The issue is that the .voc file in question is not a SoundBlaster file "Despite the .VOC extension, they are not Creative Labs Sound Files. RCA-VOC is an undocumented proprietary format starting with the signature "VCP162_VOC_File", not "Creative Voice File". " Mr. Coffin also claims to have a "fix" and publishes his code for other developers: "On March 28, 2008, I finally solved this format and released a free C program "devoc.c" to convert VOC files into uncompressed 16-bit WAV. Click here for a Windows executable. If you've installed Sound eXchange, "devoc -p *.voc" will play directly to the speakers. If you want your favorite audio software to support RCA-VOC, send the authors a link to this page. Here are some sample recordings they can use for testing. " thank you, tom ** Affects: sox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- sox not aware of multiple VOC headers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300821 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
