Re: [SoX-users] SoX Stats: add peak position? (N Arora)

Hi,
I should have used better wording.
I'm actually talking about if you had to (rather unfortunately) ever
re-digitize the object.
Having the location of the max/min position would seem to tell one a lot
more about how close/far they might be from the lost digital file than if
those stats weren't available at all.
