Isn't sox modular enought to allow plugins ?
It might be an option for the fedora package.

We have a policy not to replace any package, and a 'binary diff" ends
to suggest that.
The common workaround is to use an "alternative" name for the binary
and to use a symlink. That change would need to be backed by both
fedora and RPM Fusion packages.
But I think there is a better way for sox.
