While I know this isn't a *nix list any more than necessary for
supporting the software, but here is a bit of alternation for your
example.

for file in *.aif
  do
    sox ${file} -r 8000 -c 1 `basename $file .aiff`.gsm
  done

basename basically works like echo and will cut off whatever you put as
the 2nd argument. It is slightly shorter to type, and fewer command
switches to remember.
