 "Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will
 often work too.
 
+If you don't have libsamplerate then DisOrder will try to run sox(1) to do
+sample-rate and channel conversion.  Unfortunately, sox has a tendency to
+change its command-line options incompatibly every few years.  Rather than
+chase this moving target by supporting the new options introduced in 14.2,
+I'm declaring DisOrder's sox support to be deprecated -- though (unlike
+sox's policy) it won't actually go away until the next major version.
+Alternatives include building against libsamplerate, or using GStreamer's
+audio decoding instead of DisOrder's built-in decoders.

 For the web interface to work you will additionally need a web server.  I've
 had both Apache 1.3.x and 2.x working.  Anything that supports CGI should be
 OK.
