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

"mp3".

[asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3

1- *-bash: obd-demo.ulaw: No such file or directory* // try use absolute
file path i.e /usr/src/mymp3.mp3 . I guess that's why its saying no such
file or directory.
2-  http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/2006-March/144689.html Go
through this thread.
3-  When everything fails from sox - libraries dependencies issues  I use
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html this converter. This can help you
for some time for free.

[asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3

"sox -h" will list the formats supported by your install of sox.  If
mp3 is not listed, then your sox does not support mp3.  This is not uncommon. 
Many Linux distros do not ship support for patent encumbered formats.   Either
stop using mp3 (this is what I suggest) or compile and install sox with mp3
support.

[asterisk-users] sox: Failed reading obd-demo.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3

Kaushal,

Your version of SoX does not have MP3 support.  Since you have LAME
installed, use it as a first step to produce an intermediate file
that SoX supports.  Then use SoX to convert the intermediate file
to the desired format.

Step 1
------

# lame --decode obd-demo.mp3 obd-demo.wav
input:  obd-demo.mp3  (8 kHz, 1 channel, MPEG-2.5 Layer III)
output: obd-demo.wav  (16 bit, Microsoft WAVE)
skipping initial 1105 samples (encoder+decoder delay)
Frame# 16818/16818   16 kbps
# file obd-demo.wav
obd-demo.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono
8000 Hz


Step 2
------

# sox -V obd-demo.wav -r 8000 -b -t ul -c 1 obd-demo.ulaw
sox: Detected file format type: wav

sox: WAV Chunk fmt
sox: WAV Chunk data
sox: Reading Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 1 channel, 8000 samp/sec
sox:         16000 byte/sec, 2 block align, 16 bits/samp, 19372126 data bytes
sox:         9686063 Samps/chans
sox: Input file obd-demo.wav: using sample rate 8000
        size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 1 channel
sox: Output file obd-demo.ulaw: using sample rate 8000
        size bytes, encoding u-law, 1 channel
sox: Output file: comment "Processed by SoX"
