In version 0.1.3, libsoxr has made an undocumented ABI change which
causes MPD (Music Player Daemon) to crash:

https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/773

The commit which changed the ABI was:

Hi all,

Any progress here? The transition freeze already started. How do you
propose we solve this issue?

Control: reassign -1 mpd 0.22.4-1
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/773
Control: severity -1 normal

I've now reread the upstream bug report once again, and it appears as if
mpd is missing a call to soxr_clear before reusing a context. Hence,
I'm reassigning this bug to mpd.

Also lowering the severity as no ABI breakage seems to be involved.

Cheers

That's not correct.  soxr_clear() was not documented to be necessary.
It still is not documented that way.  An undocumented internal change
made it effectively necessary.  That is what my bug report is about.
