[SoX-users] toward floating-point?

[Cory N. <ph...@gm...>]

The more I play around with sox, the more annoying it is to constantly
guess what gain to apply to avoid clipping (-G doesn't work for
everything).

I know changing at this point would be a large effort but I'm still
curious, why does sox use integers instead of floating-point?  It'd
easily avoid this problem and is as fast if not faster than integer
math on modern CPUs.
