Where to include PATH for sox install? #2

Another user and I have looked into your project as a way of including SoX into our projects but can't seem to figure out where we can link up sox.exe to your module.

I'm guessing it's "soxPath" in processor.js I'm using a Windows portable version of SoX (14.4.2-win32)

I made a temporary "it works" fix for myself. You can find it on #1

Hey Victor, my module requires SoX to be installed and in your PATH so that the module can find it with the UNIX which command. Unfortunately Windows does not use UNIX commands (yet), so the equivalent command on Windows would be where. Overwriting soxPath in processor.js may work fine for you, but another solution would be to ensure SoX is in your PATH and then modify the function utils.which in utils.js to use the Windows where command instead of the UNIX which command (https://github.com/psaylor/sox-audio/blob/master/lib/utils.js#L44). An ideal solution would detect the OS being used and then determine the appropriate command.
