I have a situation where I get a mp3 audio output in the stdout, and I'd like to save it directly in a wav file.



Example:

I could do that:



gtts-cli "Hello World" -o out.mp3 && sox out.mp3 out.wav`


But I'd like something as:



gtts-cli "Hello World" | sox -p out.wav


Now this command raise the error:



sox FAIL formats: can't open input '-': can't find sox file format identifier.


I have installed the library libsox-fmt-mp3. I also get the same error if I try:



gtts-cli "Hello World" | sox -p -t mp3 out.wav


Thanks,

    Something like | sox -t mp3 - out.wav should work.
