Not tested on a device yet. What that means
sox in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own sox package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so sox should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
soxplayrecsoxi
Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.
Audio and video tools run on the device's processor: Linux apps get no hardware video encoding or decoding, so converting a long video takes a while. Sound plays through the device's own audio output. More in the docs: The Terminal.
About sox
From Debian's package description
SoX is a command line utility that can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats. It can also apply various effects to these sound files during the conversion. As an added bonus, SoX can play and record audio files on several unix-style platforms.
SoX is able to handle formats like Ogg Vorbis, MP3, WAV, AIFF, VOC, SND, AU, GSM and several more. Any format support requires at least libsox-fmt-base. Some formats have their own package e.g. mp3 read and write support is provided by libsox-fmt-mp3.
SoX supports most common sound architectures i.e. Alsa, Libao, OSS and Pulse (respectively provided by libsox-fmt-alsa, libsox-fmt-ao, libsox-fmt-oss and libsox-fmt-pulse). It also supports LADSPA plugins.
