MP3 support in  SoX  is  optional
                and requires access to either or both the external
libmad and libmp3lame libraries.  To see if there is support for Mp3
run sox -h and
                look for it under the list of supported file formats as "mp3".

[root at host0040 ~]# sox -h
sox: Version 12.18.1

Usage: [ gopts ] [ fopts ] ifile [ fopts ] ofile [ effect [ effopts ] ]

Which package contains libmad and libmp3lame libraries available on CentOS 5.6
