ffmpeg vs. SoX for resampling Options

[jkauff]

I just found out that TAudioConverter, although it has SoX support, uses ffmpeg for bitdepth changes, resampling, and dither. I don't use those functions very much, but I'm curious if anyone has done a quality comparison between the two.

I’m no authority, but there’s always good old http://src.infinitewave.ca/

SoX 14.4.0:

FFmpeg 0.10.4:

Let’s, er, let’s hope FFmpeg has evolved by leaps and bounds since that version was released only about half a year ago.

Well, FFmpeg is now up to version 1.1.1, and Peter has incorporated it into fb2k, so I think we can assume the program's improved. Whether it's improved for this functionality is another question. Of course, there's a 14.4.1 version of SoX just out, too.
