What is the SOX ACT for IT compliance? What does SOX stand for?

Sox or SoX?[edit]

In the article are two examples, of which one uses the command "sox" and the other of them using "play". Is the article about SoX or sox? The command "play" is symlinked to ""sox" (on my system, in any case) but the syntax differs. You can run "play -v 0.5 audiofile" but cannot substitute the command "sox" in place of "play".

The man pages for "sox" and "play" differ, and the man page for "play" includes syntax using "sox" as the calling routine. It should not, but it does. Clarification -- more information -- might help do this but simply repeatijng the confusion that persists in the man pages does not help.

What is Shipra?[edit]

The article refers to "Some of Shipra's features" but doesn't say what Shipra is. --Ross Fraser (talk) 06:07, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was just vandalism. It should read, "Some of SoX’s features are". I have reverted it. --Thorwald (talk) 06:23, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Raised decimal point[edit]

What is the reasoning behind the odd convention to use a raised full stop as a decimal separator in the user's manual (except in command line examples), and for all instances of a full stop in the spectrogram display (such as a filename extension)? I've read on Decimal separator that it might be an English tradition made obsolete in 1968. But the dot is a bit lower than an "interpunct" (·), and in the PDF manual matches search query for a regular point. It must have taken some effort to mark certain characters in the manual special. -- J7n (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
