      Description: SOund eXchange - universal sound sample translator
      Long Description: SoX (also known as Sound eXchange) translates sound samples between different file formats, and optionally applies various sound effects.

      ---> Verifying checksum for sox
      ---> Extracting sox
      ---> Configuring sox
      ---> Building sox with target all
      ---> Staging sox into destroot
      ---> Installing sox
    - Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using sox with these commands:
