Package: sox
Version: 14.0.1-2
Severity: minor

When the input file to sox is a pathname of the format
"word:...", sox tries to download it as a URL with wget.
This matching leads to false positives and sox doesn't
check/report errors properly.

$ cp ~/somefile.ogg ab:cd.ogg
$ sox ab:cd.ogg e.ogg
sox soxio: Can't open input file `ab:cd.ogg': Input not an Ogg Vorbis audio 
stream

$ sox ./ab:cd.ogg e.ogg 
# (success)


Primary suggested change: check if wget failed, and if so
say "wget failed" and exit immediately.

This way the user can see right away that the problem is
that sox thought it was a URL, and use the "./" workaround.
