Hmm... Currently sox fails to build with the ffmpeg in F16 so I
haven't included it yet. Also, even if we did, I'm not sure there's
much value in breaking it out into individual packages. I would think
it unlikely that someone who wants MP3 or ffmpeg support is going to
be too worried about the extra dependency overhead of the other.

So maybe just sox-plugins-freeworld and sox-plugins-nonfree?
