Bug Description

I wanted to decode some DTMF from a wav file.

I tried multimon -t wav -a DTMF <filename.wav>

The error came back:

$ multimon -t wav -a DTMF /tmp/dtmf.wav
multimod (C) 1996/1997 by Tom Sailer HB9JNX/AE4WA
available demodulators: POCSAG512 POCSAG1200 POCSAG2400 EAS AFSK1200 AFSK2400 AFSK2400_2 HAPN4800 FSK9600 DTMF ZVEI CCIR SCOPE
Enabled demodulators: DTMF
sox WARN getopt: option `s' not recognized
sox FAIL sox: invalid option

It seems that the version of sox:
sox:
  Installed: 14.4.2-3
  Candidate: 14.4.2-3
  Version table:
 *** 14.4.2-3 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

has broken compatibility with multimon.
