I'm a total newbie to Sphinx4, so I apologize if I sound ignorant :)

I want to be able to pass in random wav or au files into the transcriber API's without worrying about how my config files are set up. Is there a way for Sphinx4 to automatically recognize the type of sound file it's dealing with and adjust its processing of it accordingly?

Right now, I see two problems: one, the config files are very tricky to get to work as I'm not getting the right output for my files given my config.xml, and two, if I have 20 different wav file types in my data set, I can't seem to have them all processed without changing the config files.

Can Sphinx4 do the detection and adjust itself on the fly?

Thanks.
