I guess, the transition from a comfortable binary distribution (Debian) to a
source distribution (opam) is a bit surprising for you. Both approaches are
technically fine - they just require a different workflow and different
preparations.

If you want to compile modules via opam, then you will need the necessary
header files of all required libraries (in Debian-speak: "dev"-packages).
In the case above you need the dev package that contains the header files for
soundtouch. This is what the configure script tells you with the above error.

Hunting down the required dev packages for a build from source can take a bit of
time. You can start reading the build documentation for the module and then
look for the package containing the specified files. Our you try to search
throught the Debian package repository for packages with suitables names.
In this case you would probably go for "libsoundtouch-dev".

But maybe you would want to try to build upon the hard work of the Debian
package maintainer and just install all the dev packages that are required for
the build of the latest Debian package. Probably the build dependencies of the
latest version are still more or less applicable for the new version of
liquidoap:
 apt-get build-dep liquidsoap-plugin-all

If the opal build still fails even with the packages above installed, then I
would recommend you to try to search with your favorite search engine for the
last output line containing an error (here: "configure: error: soundtouch not
found") and maybe the word "Debian". This will probably help you to find a
solution for your build problem.

Cheers,
Lars
