Ahh, good test.  This output shows clearly that the sox
did a rewind instead of seek forward to the beginning of file 
and read in RIFF.

That clearly shows that our new usage of fseeko() has problems.
I've done some searching on the internet and I'm not finding
any links that say fseeko() has been problematic on some
Distributions.  I'll keep looking though.

Not sure what options we would have other then stop using fseeko.

If you feel like testing this theory, you could edit the file
src/misc.c.  Look for any referenes to fseeko and replace with just
fseek().  Probably WAV files will work after that.
