sox build issues with new packages

There are issues with recent packages of sox libs installed on some platforms
(mine is Ubuntu 09.04). The interface SoX has been changing recently with versions 14.2 and now 14.3-rc, which causes either linking issues or crashes at runtime (at least one function has changed its arity, which may go unnoticed until runtime, and some memory is freed differently). It is advised (until sox packages have been stabilized and libsoxconvert.c rewritten accordingly, a low-priority subject) to build sox from (stable 14.1 version) code source, or alternatively to use ./configure --without-sox. With older packages (like those of my Kubuntu 08.10 platform prior to updates) some SoX libs are missing so the building system automatically triggers SoX source code build. Building code and installing from an official SoX 14.1 distro may not work either, at least for dynamic linking (I had to force a mangled static build by tampering with the SoX build system). As this may be platform-related I'd be grateful to have reports of people building dvda-author (with SoX interface) against installed libs, and for which lib versions on board. I'll be releasing a source update soon to smooth this out soon.

Fab,
With respect, I rest my case!

The cause of the issue at runtime with builds linked to installed SoX libs has been identified and is being corrected.
It arises for SoX redefining getopt_long in its own source code. Normally distribution porters should comment out this code before compiling their packages with GNU libs, as is mentioned in SoX source code. It seems that Debian packagers forgot to do that, which results in the wrong getopt_long function being called by main dvda-author routines, hence stack corruption. A functional way out is to recompile with ./configure CPPFLAGS=-DSHORT_OPTIONS_ONLY if the SoX is to be used, or else ./configure --without-sox, if its is not. For Lee: ./configure --without-sox cleanly erases all SoX -related code in dvda-author source code via conditional compiling. This is for users (like you) who prefer to script and use an external binary, always an interesting option. An updated package will be uploaded tonight.
