Package: sox
Version: 14.0.0-5
Severity: important

sox useds to work fine on my computer (I use it as notification sound player in 
KDE instead of Arts).

Since (at least) last upgrade, sounds doesn't play anymore: 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav
ALSA snd_pcm_hw_params_set_format error: Invalid argument
play ao: Could not open default device: error 5
play soxio: Failed writing `default':


If I try to switch to OSS driver in libao: 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ play /usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav
libao - Unsupported number of bits: 32.play ao: Could not open default device: 
error 5
play soxio: Failed writing `default':


/usr/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav is a "standard KDE sound" (22050Hz, mono, 
16bit, PCM).

Playing sounds works very well with other apps (amarok, mpg123, etc...)

My sound card is an Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo 2. I use alsa snd_cs46xx 
driver (various kernels >=2.6.21) . ALSA OSS emulation is enabled.
I encountered some buffer size problems with this sound card and jackd (for 
instance). Maybe this could be a hint...

As sox used to work fine for me, and is not working anymore, it is a serious 
functionnality regression.

Please contact me if you need testing or additionnal informations.
