.VOC text not processed

Description

On 2024-05-17 Kae writes:

I've noticed VOC has a FIXME wherein the author didn't come upon any VOCs with text.
I was making a VOC parser so I bothered to run DOS and VEDIT2.EXE
from Creative Voice Editor.
I've made a test file, so that should make someone's life simpler!
Attached are the screenshot and the resulting file
(with as many varied blocks as I could add in VEdit2).

Analysis

Running sox-14.4.2 or sox_ng-14.6.0 on CONGAALL.VOC you get:

sox WARN voc: VOC TEXT
sox WARN voc: VOC TEXT
sox FAIL formats: can't open input file `test/BUG-373/CONGAALL.VOC':

and including the commented-out FIXME code in voc.c (sox-voc-text.patch) it does the same thing.
