Pedro,
I'll do just that, either with sox or libsndfile or both.
On Rosegarden: I should have mentioned that I am almost blind and
somehow wedded to the command line unless developers undertook the
effort to use the accessibility features of Qt etc. so screen reading
software like Jaws for Windows or Orca for Gnome can grab the screen
content. But developers are a lazy bunch as we all know ;-)
I will be offline for a few days and report back later.
Cheers
Leo
