Your results seem to confirm that a set of HF binaries will be required. As I noted earlier, I simply pulled the binaries I needed from the Raspberry Pi repository for the release that matched the kernel level for my Kindle. Putting together a new set will require doing so again, this time with HF binaries. Assuming there is a one-to-one mapping the complete list is above.
I'm going to have to check back in the original thread developing the extension, as I seem to recall there was a need to patch a path in the sox binary, but I don't trust my memory at this point.
If you are feeling adventurous you could locate a sox binary in an HF repository and see what ldd shows you for it and if you get further than you did with the provided one.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your suggestions and for clarifying the next steps.
You mentioned trying to locate a sox binary in an HF repository and seeing what ldd shows on it. I wanted to update you on what I found:
I searched through various HF-related repositories and sources for a sox binary that might work with the newer firmware. Unfortunately, everything I found either wouldn’t run at all on my PW4 (HF firmware).
So, in short:
I’ve tried the step you suggested, but
there just don’t seem to be any prebuilt HF-compatible sox binaries out there that will even launch on my device. If there are other places you’d recommend looking, I’m happy to try, but I think this really confirms the need for a proper HF build.
If you have the time or ability, would you be willing to put together a compatible set of sox binaries (and any needed libraries) for the HF firmware? I’d be very happy to test anything you put together and provide feedback. Your help has been invaluable, and I really appreciate all your effort!
Thanks again,
