OK, that is the version I distribute and happens to be compile with
mingw with no play/rec support.

Its a bad timing issue.  SoX has been on a 6 month release
cycle for the last year at least and so is Fedora.  About
the time 14.0.0 came out they were already in lockdown mode
(no new versions, only bugfixes).  14.0.0 is already in
their development branch.  I'm pretty sure though that they
are back in lockdown mode for Fedora 9 and so 14.0.1 won't make
it either.

No I don't think any differences in resample routines
between 13 and 14 series.  I'll have to let your ear determine
which routine you should use.
