Sound just broken in Sid

[Anthony Campbell <ac@acampbell.org.uk>]

Following a recent upgrade in Sid my sound is no longer working -- on 2
different machines.

Saytime says:

        sox formats: can't open output file `/dev/audio': Invalid argument
        child process returned a non-zero status 2

I tried lsmod |grep snd:

So sound modules seem to be loaded but something is wrong. I could try
downgrading to the sound stuff in testing but I don't know which
packages are at fault. Any suggestions here please?
