sox does not handle more than 32 files

[shrini]

Binary package hint: sox

"play" or "sox" can not handle more than 32 files at a time.

Same problem with sox not handling enough input files, though for me (version 14.3.1), it processes the first 100 files, then ignore the rest.

[Ulrich Klauer (uklauer)]

This (the original problem) has been fixed in SoX 14.2.0. There is no internal limit on the number of files anymore.

There are still limits from the OS/shell:
1. The length of the command line is limited, a longer line may be silently trimmed. To work around this, use a playlist file (.m3u) instead of listing the input files on the command line.
2. SoX opens all of its input files before processing, so the OS has to support that many open files.
I suspect Mark (comment #1) hit the first problem.
