Bug#933372: Installed sox fails test suite

["Daniel Richard G." <skunk@iSKUNK.ORG>]

Package: sox
Version: 14.4.2+git20190427-1

After building and installing the current SoX package, running the
"installcheck" target fails with the following error:

[...]

Might one of the many Debian patches applied to the source have broken
HCOM format support?
