Opps, missed that question.  Currently, no with mingw .  In theory, it
should be working though because configure/libtool have the support.
I personally only link in the static library and have not spent time
to figure out why mingw will not create them.   libtool gives
following message during link phase of libsox.dll and then reverts to
building static only (and some other warnings as well):

*** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols,
*** because either the platform does not support them or
*** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined,
*** libtool will only create a static version of it.

You might try removing "-no-undefine" from Makefile.  All optional
libraries used by libsox.dll will need to be DLL's as well if its ever
to work (such as libogg.dll, etc).

The only reason its used is to do:

ln -s sox.exe soxi.exe
ln -s sox.exe play.exe
ln -s sox.exe rec.exe

Since you can do that by hand or just skip it since you mainly want
libraries, all you need to do is find away for it to gracefully fail.
You don't really need a working ln.exe.
