try "man sox" at a terminal, 
or "man what_ever_you_want_to_know_about"
this will give you the manual page on an application.
I'm not being smart, just thought this might help you in the future!

DESCRIPTION
       SoX  is a command line program that can convert most popular audio 
files to most other popular audio file  formats.
       It  can  optionally  change the audio sample data type and
       apply one or more sound effects to the  file  during  this
       translation.

       There  are  two  types of audio files formats that SoX can
       work with.  The first are  self-describing  file  formats.
       These  contain a header that completely describe the characteristics 
of the audio data that follows.

       The second type are headerless data, or  sometimes  called
       raw  data.   A user must pass enough information to SoX on
       the command line so that it knows what  type  of  data  it
       contains.
