Slightly different topic:
I frequently use SoX for simple audio manipulation and conversion tasks.
The fedora version has been compiled without - among others - MP3 support.
I always rebuild SoX myself from the Fedora src.rpm but with several 
libraries only available from RPMfusion

Couldn't someone package a "sox-freeworld" for RPM Fusion, supporting ALL 
the file formats that are available in the SoX sources ?

After that "sox -h" would show

AUDIO FILE FORMATS: 8svx aif aifc aiff aiffc al amb amr-nb amr-wb anb au

which is more than what is supported now in the Fedora version.
