libsox-fmt-ogg in Squeeze?

jdkaye · 04-14-2009, 04:08 AM

Hi all,
Lenny has the above-mentioned package which I need for using sox to deal with .ogg files. I see that Squeeze doesn't have this package. Has something replaced it? I can no longer use sox to convert .ogg files to other formats

A command like

Code:

sox kang1.ogg kang1.wav

produces the response

Code:

sox soxio: Can't open input file `kang1.ogg': unknown file type `ogg'

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
jdk

Solved. I had to force an update to sox which removed the obsolete libsox-fmt packages and now ogg is incorporated in the newer libsox-fmt-base package
For anyone with a similar problem, this is how to deal with it.
