I'm glad you did drop in!

Well, one thing I was trying to figure out is if we still needed the
headers. From the configure output it looks like we don't for lame but
do for mad. I'm going to try building test packages of both "new"
Fedora and RPM Fusion packages and see if I can get it to work. Once I
figure that out I'll submit a bug against Fedora sox with a git diff
and we'll see what happens.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
