Hi,

the sox source package didn't run tests. In -3.1, I NMUed it enabling
tests and it built successfully on mipsel-osuosl-03. Then I added a few
changes that probably are unrelated and uploaded -3.2, which failed
tests on mipsel-aql-01 even after giving it back. I tried running that
very test on eller 100 times and it succeeded there.

The test failure is:

| ok     channels=1 "vox" <--> "f32".
| /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/src/.libs/sox WARN sox: `output.vox' output clipped 369 samples; decrease volume?
| *FAIL* channels=1 "vox" <--> "f64".
| make[1]: *** [debian/rules:16: override_dh_auto_test] Error 1

I guess that this is due to different mips64el machines behaving
differently and in effect, I cannot debug this. So I'll be making the
test suite non-fatal on mips64el. This allows testing other
architectures and lets us see the mips64el failure in the build log. I
hope that someone else tracks down the actual issue.
