We have to convert the voice data to flac format before sending them to
google, this can be done by both sox and flac encoder. For now the
script uses flac encoder for compatibility with older distros (mainly
RHEL 5). Sox is a bit more flexible and also gives you the option to
edit the sound data (normalizing, changing levels etc).
