Summary: Memory leak in libsox's sox_close().

Initial Comment:
There is a missing :

    free(ft->priv);

in sox_close(), because of which, a program that simply does : 

  sox_init();
  for( int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i ) {
    sox_format_t * in = sox_open_read(argv[1], NULL, NULL, NULL);
    sox_close(in);
  }
  sox_quit();

leaks memory, which makes libsox unusable for my project - would it be possible to know (if even roughly) in which release this is likely to be fixed? 

Thanks for reading.

Message:
It is already fixed in CVS and will be in 14.3.1.  We are currently issuing
"release candidates" and will most likely be officially released before a
months time.
