Hi Ken!
I have Ecasound, sndfile-convert and sox. But from these three I deem
sndfile-convert to be the best. but I seem to remember, that Fons Adriaensen
recently released a tool/library to do the same task. I believe it is as good
as or better than sndfile-convert. I seem to recall, that there were issues
with finetuning dithering, that sndfile didn't offer. As I said, I'm not 100%
syure about that.
If in doubt and not wanting to get to any more troubles installing
something: use sndfile-convert. It has always served me nicely!
Kindly yours
Julien
