The sox audio processer program worked fine in fc41. Now it fails in fc42 when using the ladspa tap_deesser plugin. When sox, play command (v14.4.2) tries to use the tap_deesser plugin from the ladspa-tap-plugins-0.7.0-37.fc42.x86_64 rpm, it fails with the message: play FAIL ladspa: could not open LADSPA plugin tap_deesser If I remove the tap_deesser plugin from the sox effects chain, it plays just fine. Ardour (v8.11) can load the fc42 tap_deesser plugin fine and process audio with it. If I copy the tap_deesser.so file from fc41 to the fc42 /usr/lib64/ladspa directory, the sox, play command works just fine. Copying the fc42 tap_deesser.so file back causes the play command to fail again. Other plugins from the fc42 ladspa-tap-plugins work fine with sox. I don't see anything in the system logs about sox/play failures. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the sox, play command with the tap_deesser in the effects chain. 2. Command fails stating, could not open LADSPA plugin tap_deesser 3. Copy in the fc41 tap_deesser.so file to /usr/lib64/ladspa 4. Run play with tap_deesser and it plays the audio file fine. 5. Copy in the fc42 tap_deesser.so file back to /usr/lib64/ladspa 6. Run the sox, play command with the tap_deesser in the effects chain. 7. Command fails again stating, could not open LADSPA plugin tap_deesser Actual Results: Command fails with no audio output and the message: play FAIL ladspa: could not open LADSPA plugin tap_deesser Expected Results: Should filter the audio file using the effects and play the results through the sound system.

After getting all the way to FC44, I noticed that the LADSPA TAP deesser is in the correct folder. I consider this closed.
