It looks like you have configured the Soundtouch port with the
INTEGER_SAMPLES option.  In that case, Soundtouch defines SAMPLETYPE to
short, and apparently Audacity is hardcoded to expect float samples
instead.

Maybe this should be reported to Audacity, but I can imagine they would
say "Soundtouch must be configured with float samples". :-)
