SoX - missing filename about asterisk-googletts HOT 6 CLOSED

Version 0.5 works fine.

from asterisk-googletts.

Can you please send me the output of sox --help (i want to check the supported file formats and effetcs)
and also tell me what distro you are running.
If you try something like googletts-cli.pl -o test.wav -t "Hello world" does it write the wav file or it fails again?

Outputting to a wav file runs flawless (./googletts-cli.pl -o test.wav -t
'Hello World' -s 1.0)

But without outputting to file I got an error.

./googletts-cli.pl -l en -t "Hello world"
/usr/bin/sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `default': can not open
audio device: Connection refused
./googletts-cli.pl: sox failed to process sound file. at

effopts: depends on effect

This version supports the tempo effect, but as you may see if I don't use
'-s 1.0' SoX complains.

./googletts-cli.pl -o test.wav -t 'Hello world!'

Unfortunately sox is a big pile of shit. I was hoping that only major versions have a totally incompatible command line syntax but as it seems minor versions suffer for this too. Please try the latest code i pushed on the repo, it contains a fix that should deal with the problem you have in elastix (it defines the type of output in playback mode to 'alsa'). As for the ubuntu version of sox i ll have to investigate it a bit more.

It's working on Elastix now, and it's way more important to me than working
on Ubuntu (that is just a testing machine).

Seems that the libsox API is more consistent across versions than the CLI
it self. Have you considered binding your apps to libsox (using pysox
maybe)?

Keep up the good work :D
