The roles of sox.js VS sox-stream are not very clear in their READMEs

Open ghost opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, I see that you published 2 libraries for sox. So, in trying to decide which one to use, here are a couple of things that I learned while looking through the sources. I thought maybe you'd like to put something like this in your README. If not, perhaps this issue will help someone decide.

  1. sox-stream creates a temp file and sox.js does not.
  2. Node will process every byte of every file with sox-stream whereas it will not when using sox.js.

These are 2 pretty big factors for my decision to just use sox.js for now until I really need that pipe interface.

Also I just wanted to tell you that sox-stream is mentioned without any context in the sox.js README which was slightly puzzling.

Thanks for your work!

Thanks for the feedback. It is really useful to know how a new user sees a product, and what the missing information is.

Ideally, there would be a short Pros/Cons list in sox.js and sox-stream that list the differences and use-cases of both.
