In the past, several people have archived the two lists and so you can 
possibly find the answer you are looking for with a modification of

sox has an iffy enough quality of released versions that not all will work 
properly with rivendell. they also make or at some point made incompatible 
changes to the command line arguments.

the rivendell guys (i am not one) did the testing and found a version of sox 
that worked. that is the one they recommend.

they may be working on removing the dependency on sox iirc.
