Hi
I too am interested in compiling SoX with amr_wb support.

libvo-amrwbenc is compiled and installed on my system for use with FFmpeg.

Is this suitable for SoX?


Using Ubuntu-11.04 and SoX from git.
When I run command ./configure
It shows:-
OPTIONAL FILE FORMATS
amrnb......................yes
 dlopen amrnb..............no
amrwb......................yes
 dlopen amrwb..............no


When I use:-
sox -d output.amr-nb
it is OK.

But when I use:-
sox -d output.amr-wb
it gives:-
sox WARN formats: amr-wb can't encode at 48000Hz; using 16000Hz
sox WARN formats: amr-wb can't encode stereo; setting channels to 1
sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `output.amr-wb': SoX was compiled without AMR-WB encoding support.

The config report is here ---> http://pastebin.com/yVahSBSq

Is there something missing?

In the meantime....
I use this command:-
sox -d -p | ffmpeg -f sox -i - -c:a libvo_amrwbenc -b:a 23.85k -ar 16k -ac 1 output.amr
