Are you sure it is specifically QGIS that can't open the file? Have you
tried GDAL directly. If there are problems with GDAL on your platform for
SOSI, but it works on others, I don't see how this should limit what is an
available feature in QGIS. It would then require fixing GDAL, or its
packaging, in this regard.

Please verify.
