asterisk users - Apr 2004 - MP3 encoding of Monitor files

I have having problems trying to take a file recorded with Monitor and
convert it to MP3. When I use 'play' to play the .wav file, it sounds
fine. After bladenc'ing it, it plays at lightening speed, and the voices
are all high pitch. I tried using sox to resample to 32000 before
encoding, but that didnt work either. Do any of you convert your .wav
files to mp3?


Monitor call:

Monitor(wav|test)

'file' output:

test.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit,
mono 8000 Hz

Sox resample:

sox test.wav -r 32000 newtest.wav

Bladeenc call:

bladeenc newtest.wav newtest.mp3


mpg123 newtest.mp3 # sounds like Im listening in fast-forward mode...



Any suggestions on how I can get mp3 versions of files produced by
Monitor?

Why would this matter here? 
Also some more recent sox builds are capable of encoding to mp3.

lame did the same thing. The reason I ask this on the asterisk list is
that .wav files I record from other sources encode just fine. I think
the hitch is the sample rates produced by asterisk.

File recorded by gnome sound recorder (lame/bladeenc encode just fine):

RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo
44100 Hz

vs

File recorded with Monitor:

RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit,
mono 8000 Hz


I will give the newer version of sox a try.
