Please don't drop Cc: to public lists, others can help while I'm away.
I welcome direct emails, just keep others in the loop :)

You're probably missing dependencies and sox is falling back
to non-ideal audio playback (OSS, instead of ALSA or PulseAudio).

Try to install the same build-dependencies for sox used by your system.
On Debian/Ubuntu systems, this can be done easily using:

	apt-get install build-essential
	apt-get build-dep sox

(Be sure you have the "deb-src" lines in your /etc/apt/sources.list
 file uncommented).
