yes. stable issue on multiple systems.

problme occured with build 14.4.2-5.
build 14.4.2-4 works fine.

@NoSuck: It is quite likely that the many patches, that had to be applied on top of 14.4.2 to fix the 12 (!) CVEs that sox currently has attached to that version, broke something. IMHO, the best thing to do would be to complain upstream [1] and demand a new release (to also get the remaining ~30 patches on top of 14.4.2 released).
That being said: I've tried to get a reply from upstream for about a year now and don't have the feeling they care about releases (although they do care about new features apparently).

Is this still an issue with latest pkgs?
Comment by wommel (wommel) - Tuesday, 02 May 2023, 07:47 GMT
Yes, the issue still exists.

Then it is an upstream issue (since we seem to be on a very recent commit). Please bring it up with them and report back.
