SOX_OPTS gone?

SOX_OPTS gone?

[Rene Maurer]

Hello

I have used SOX_OPTS for a long time in the source to add some
effects. For example: dtas-ctl source ed sox env.SOX_OPTS="sinc -850".

I can see this with dtas-sourceedit sox:

,----
| ---
| command: exec sox "$INFILE" $SOXFMT - $TRIMFX $RGFX
| env:
|   SOX_OPTS: sinc -850
| tryorder: 0
`----

As $SOX_OPTS is (no longer?) in <command:> the sinc effect in the given
example is not applied. An a old installation dtas-sourceedit sox gives
me:

,----
| ---
| command: exec sox "$INFILE" $SOXFMT - $TRIMFX $RGFX $SOX_OPTS
| env: !!omap
| -  SOX_OPTS: sinc -850
| tryorder: 0
`----


When I add $SOX_OPTS to <command:> the effect works as expected.

What is the (new) recommended way to add an effect to the
source. dtas-sourceedit isn't an option for me as normally I only use
<dtas-ctl source ed>.

Regards, René

SOX_OPTS is implemented by sox(1) itself, not dtas.

Furthermore, SOX_OPTS is intended for "--" options (e.g.
"--no-clobber"), not effects chains such as "sinc".

I think you added $SOX_OPTS to "command:" yourself, since I
can't find evidence in dtas.git history that ever put $SOX_OPTS
in the command-line.

You can put arbitrary variables there, such as MYFX, of course:

command: exec sox "$INFILE" $SOXFMT - $TRIMFX $RGFX $MYFX
env: !!omap
- MYFX: sinc -850


Btw, I started looking into your auto-pause thing the other day
but got sidetracked by Ruby 2.7.0dev problems :<  I wish I had
written this in Perl5 or even C99...

Thanks for confirming.  Btw, did you forget to Cc: the list?
Reply-all is the convention, here; since I don't require or even
encourage mailing list subscriptions, public mail archives are
more important than mailing lists IMHO :>

Please excuse, I have done just "Reply" instead of "Reply-all" in in the
last posts.
