Re: [LAU] [SOLVED] Annoying click in sox + lame pipe

Well... Sorry to answer my self. I was in such a hurry I wasn't paying
enough attention to the various switches:

Indeed the -t wav in sox will produce a wave file, and thus with a
header, while -r in lame expects raw. So change -t wav to -t raw or
remove the -r in lame solves the problem:

sox sin.mp3 -t wav - trim 10 20 fade t 2 10 2 | lame - out.mp3

or

sox sin.mp3 -t raw - trim 10 20 fade t 2 10 2 | lame - -r out.mp3

So "the click is the header"...

Sorry again for posting in a rush :)
Lorenzo.
