It adds an extra step, but if you can batch it out it shouldn't matter much... <code>sox infile.wav outfile.wav pad 0.1</code> My suggestion would be just to pad the output file with some silence after you’re done trimming it out.

A question if I may... Is there a simple way to trim all silence except for say 100ms from the start of a file? Thanks for posting these notes – sox is a great tool.

I now having similar problems with Protus. Protus in Canada used to be a really good company and I used them for years. Recently they were bought by J2 Global Communications (MyFax) and Protus is now plagues with problems, unresponsiveness and poor service.

I was able to get the software to install; however, the minute I attempted to use it I was told that the MyFax 64-bit Ice Driver printer driver was not installed. After a little investigation, I found the "Black Ice Driver" on Black Ice's website, they wanted $40.00 for the driver. I contacted MyFax and was told that there is a problem with the driver and that they will be discontinuing it in the near future. Nothing about offering a solution or fix, just that they will not support it anymore. I immediately dropped MyFax and went to RingCentral, less more and more features. Thanks again for the article!

I checked the directories and everything, files are being generated. Perhaps I missed something with removing the cfg lines in nagios.cfg?
