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
