I don't have any suggestions for how to get a patch accepted, but I will say that I have written a VU meter effect (because I needed to write the meter to a custom device) and found that the system is not that hard to work with. I believe that you will be well served to do your extension here rather than in an in house tool.

All that being said, the traffic on this list is so low as to be dead. I am not certain that anyone is still doing official work, though I suspect that someone is because I saw a release in the recent past.

Good luck, and let me know if I can be of assistance,

Claude

Hi everyone,

we (my colleagues and I) are in need of some Sox functionality with
support for RF64 files and are thinking about adding proper (reading and
writing) support for RF64 files to sox instead of extending our own
in-house tool. Before diving in head-first, I wanted to ask around if
there are some reasons for not doing this or pointers on how to do this,
to make sure our patch will not be rejected.
It seems to me libsndfile also supports writing RF64 files already?

Thank you!

Best,
Manus
