SOX plugin interface

Hi all
I am using the SOX plugin to resample. I noticed that the interface to set the parameters for the plugin only has a limited set of parameters

For example:

Interface choices for quality are "normal" or "best"
According to the SOC documentation SOX has "low" "quick" "medium" "high" "very high"

Phase response in SOX can be configures 0-100%, the interface only gives 0-50%
The "-a" (aliasing) option does not appear in the interface
Dithering is not available in the interface

I am aware that the interface has all the necessary parameters for 99% of the use cases, but it would be nice to have all the possibilities in case they are needed.
Would it be possible to expand the interface panel?
Thanks a lot

"Low" and "quick" are of too low quality; "medium" is also useless IMHO.
"Normal" is roughly equal to "high", "best" to "very high".

There's no reason to maximize pre-ringing, so this plugin doesn't have such option.

"Allow aliasing/imaging" checkbox.

Dithering should be done after all DSP plugins, so there's no point to do it in this plugin.

Not planned.

Thanks, lvqcl
That clarifies things and I rest my case.
