I'm pretty happy with the trunk changes and don't have much in the pipeline on
changing the file or the effects API, so I think you're safe for the time
being.

I'm afraid that the libsox man page is woefully out of date, so your main
points of reference will be example[12].c and sox.h (& last, 'cos it's
complicated, sox.c).

I suspect that the mission you are undertaking will bring out a few
peccadilloes (or at least areas of lack of clarity) in the API so please raise
questions and improvement suggestions.

There's a crude (but so far adequate) mechanism: sox_encodinginfo_t has a
`compression' value, currently used by vorbis & FLAC---patches to extend this
for mp3 (lame) are welcome.
