----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 With either an updated macports and SOX (to Macports 2.0.3 and SOX
 14.3.2), or on a cleanly installed system running OS 10.6.8 there is an
 error with SOX outputting 24bit wav files.

 The error is that the file has padding, this can easily be seen by using
 the BWF MetaEdit software which shows the error as follows:

 "An odd byte length chunks exists that is not immediately followed by a
 NULL byte. This could cause problems in reading subsequent chunks in some
 systems."

 This does not happen for every single file, but at least 50% of files
 tested.

 This bug does not occur on a system running OS 10.6.7 and macports 2.0.3
 with SOX 14.3.2

 This bug can make the files incompatible with some other audio software.

 Please note this bug has been seen on a number of machines.
