Package: sox
Version: 14.4.1-5+b2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

There is a bug in the man page of sox that causes the font to switch
midway to Courier instead of Times Roman. You can see this problem by
viewing the man page as a PDF:

cd /usr/share/man/man1
zcat sox.1.gz | tbl -Tpdf | eqn -Tpdf | groff -Tpdf -man > ~/sox.pdf
mimeopen ~/sox.pdf

The problem starts at the end of page 6. The fix is simple. Simply
close the .EX tag using .EE.

Here is the patch:

Usually SoX will complete its processing and exit automatically once
it has read all available audio data from the input files.
