Autodetecting opus seems to be cursed for some reason. Even Debian 
manages to detect and compile it but forgets to make a sox-fmt-opus 
package of it and I managed to break it in sox_ng-14.4.3. Most embarassing.

It may be relevant that it is (or was) the only item in configure.ac 
that uses/d PKG_CHECK_MODULE instead of AC_CHECK_LIB like everything 
else, and it should be fixed in sox_ng-14.4.3.1 and I would be glad to 
know if that is true.

Re: the original subject, coreaudio, there is an issue 
https://codeberg.org/sox_ng/sox_ng/issues/167
"coreaudio: fix device name truncation" which is in mainline sox_ng but 
went in after 14.4.3.1 and is included in https://80x24.org/sox.git and 
homebrew https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/sox but not in sox.sf.net's 
master branch.

Incidentally, if anyone can help with making a dmg package I would love 
to know the runes to be able to include a .dmg of each release 
https://codeberg.org/sox_ng/sox_ng/issues/178
