Bug#522241: sox: Don't play correctly .mp3 files

[Benjamin Moody]

Package: sox
Version: 14.2.0-1
Severity: normal

This issue results from a misuse of the libmagic API, which happened
to work anyway in older versions of libmagic.  The patch below will
work with both the current libmagic (5.00-1) and the previous version
(4.26-1).  I haven't looked at older versions.

In any case, relying on libmagic to give the exact MIME type we're
expecting seems like a poor idea.  Shouldn't sox instead use
libmagic's result as a *hint*, and, if the MIME type isn't recognized,
fall back to other means of determining the type?

Bug#522241: sox: Don't play correctly .mp3 files

[Francesco]

Package: sox
Version: 14.2.0-1+b1
Severity: normal

Sox don't play automatically mp3 files, the error is:
$ play 07 -Ragazza Speciale.mp3
play formats: no handler for detected file type `audio/mpeg; charset=binary'
but with the command:
$ play -t mp3 07 -Ragazza Speciale.mp3
all is working fine.
A quick google search report this to be related with the new version of 'file'
