Summary: some files unplayable through symlinks

Initial Comment:
It's hit or miss, I haven't been able to discern why some symlinks work and some don't.  It's not dependent on the file type, ogg flac or mp3 I have some sox can't identify through symlinks and some it can.

Message:
IMHO this has nothing to do with the files being symlinks,
but rather lacking the filename extension.

Why are you naming your files (symlinks) so that they do not have the
extension,
leaving it to sox's magic(5) or autodetection to figure out the format?
