That's your bug. It looks like the old libsox-fmt-sndfile (which
seems to have been removed from the archive) conflicts with
libsox-fmt-base. I'd suggest just removing it by hand with dpkg
(aptitude was going to remove it anyway), and then filing a bug on
libsox-fmt-sndbase, severity serious or greater: it should conflict
with and replace libsox-fmt-sndfile (IMO).
