Re: [SoX-users] What, if any, SoX parameters will convert a .vox file to another format whose metadata is sufficient for HTML5 Audio to predetermine duration?

[COHEN, S. M <sc...@at...>]

Thank you, Jan.  It appears that you are saying that this is a bug in Firefox, not present in Google Chrome, and there is no workaround available through SoX that would help this situation.
Thanks.  That answers my question, and sorry about the long subject line.

Apparently, the duration is present in the files' headers.
That's about all you can do about storing the duration:
write it in the header as expected, which sox does.

I think that your problem has nothing to do with SoX,
but is a problem with those browsers.

PS: make your "Subject:" a one-liner.
