Bug#1020485: sox: Please add a SoX sndio I/O library

[Job Bautista <jobbautista9@protonmail.com>]

Source: sox
Version: 14.4.2+git20190427-3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

It would be nice to have a libsox-fmt-sndio package like libsox-fmt-alsa and
libsox-fmt-pulse for us sndio users. While libsox-fmt-ao, which uses libao which
also supports sndio is perfectly fine for audio output, it doesn't support audio
input, which means I can't record my microphone's input using sndio.

Upstream already has code for sndio, it is just matter of adding one more build-
time dependency and explicitly installing libsox_fmt_sndio.so to /usr/lib.

Below is a simple patch doing that. Thanks
