So I would need to remove all the files except what's shown here as "added"?

sox does have the configure options "--enable-dl-lame --enable-dl-mad"
but as I mentioned above I think it has to have access to the headers
to get the prototypes right.

>From the comment[1]:
"""
The main issue is that currently, this feature still requires related
BuildRequires for lame/mad header files to get prototypes right.  That could be
hacked around by patching in private mad/lame headers I suppose but its not
done upstream so far.
"""

Of course this bug was for F12 so this may have indeed been fixed. I
tried the "--enable-dl-lame --enable-dl-mad" and it did appear to work
(at least in ./configure) without the headers.

I'll see if I can create a set of packages that works.
