Also Mandriva 9.2 (but I don't use it with SoX, just noticed it once!)
(Mandriva 2007 works fine ---BTW 9.2 has SoX ?13.0 by default (an RPM), I was 
just playing round one day and 'up'graded):

[sox-14.0.0]$ uname -a
Linux xxx 2.4.22-10mdk #1 Thu Sep 18 12:30:58 CEST 2003 i686 unknown unknown 
GNU/Linux
[sox-14.0.0]$ sox --version
sox: SoX v14.0.0 
[sox-14.0.0]$ sox src/monkey.wav out.wav
sox soxio: Failed reading `src/monkey.wav': Could not find data chunk.

#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

/* Define to 1 to make fseeko visible on some hosts (e.g. glibc 2.2). */

As far as Mandiva goes this seems a historic problem (though not everyone 
will want to update their distribution to update SoX).

Hope this helps,
