Thanks for the package,

I made a pet-with-deps-included cutting off all unnecessary joining the 3 pets,

so I could get a total of 628K instead 2.7M

I used to change pitch to some songs in Eb back to E and results are very good!

I hope it can help

When I put together Imagination pet package from debian packages
I found on launchpad.com site, I found I couldn't use your
SoX 14.4.0 package so I had to use your
earlier sox-14.2.0-with-deps.pet package.
Perhaps libsox didn't have right dependencies??

Imagination 3.0 for precise
