Hello there,

I noticed the following .au support discrepancy while trying 3 sox
versions I've compiled myself on my Ubuntu 8.10.

a) The following command line works well with this given ring.au [1]
(notice: not warning):
 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.0.1/src/sox /tmp/ring.au /tmp/ring-14.0.1.wav
 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.1.0/src/sox /tmp/ring.au /tmp/ring-14.1.0.wav
 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.2.0/src/sox /tmp/ring.au /tmp/ring-14.2.0.wav


b) Same test with another .au file [2]: (notice the warnings with 14.10
and 14.2.0):
 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.0.1/src/sox /tmp/ringbad.au
 /tmp/ringbad-14.0.1.wav

 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.1.0/src/sox /tmp/ringbad.au
 /tmp/ringbad-14.1.0.wav
 /tmp/sox-14.1.0/src/.libs/lt-sox au: header size 24 is too small

 me@machine:/tmp$ ./sox-14.2.0/src/sox /tmp/ringbad.au
 /tmp/ringbad-14.2.0.wav
 /tmp/sox-14.2.0/src/.libs/lt-sox au: header size 24 is too small


Despite the warning, the conversion is correctly done, but why this
warning message from 14.1.0 ?
Could the file be wrong (but the header looks good, it is playable, and
no windows or linux audio editors I tried complained) ? 

Note the 3 sox versions have been compiled the same way ("./configure
--without-sndfile --without-flac --without-ogg --without-wavpack
--without-lame --without-mad && make")

Its header looks good:

[2] is not on internet (but I can provide it if required), its header
looks good as well:
