Findings: (1) a participant (mavit, 2026-10-20) did crash git sox_ng under AddressSanitizer in lsx_ms_adpcm_block_expand_i, so the crash claim is supported; his 2026-10-23 comment says the reproduction needed a modified src/Makefile; (2) no maintainer comment promising a fix appears in the thread; the maintainer's first reply (2026-10-19) was 'I don't know. Is it?' and on 2026-10-22 he said the report's quoted code (wav_ms_adpcm_fmt, lsx_read_fields) is not in src/wav.c and he had found no file that provokes the error; (3) another participant (2026-10-23) explains the report targets a different SoX lineage with changes absent from sox_ng, and points to wav.c:1051 startread_wav() as the corresponding sox_ng code. Failure modes.
