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

Which package contains libmad and libmp3lame libraries available on CentOS 5.6

Yes, the standard sox in CentOS/RHEL is compiled without mp3 support.

Asterisk is nothing to do with your problem.

Having lame and lame-devel is good; you will also need libmad and libmad-devel.
But the standard sox doesn't look for them.

5.6
You will need to get libmad and libmad-devel from rpmforge, like you
did lame and lame-devel. There might even be a sox package on there
that was compiled with mp3 support. If not, you will need to obtain
the SRPM for sox and recompile it with mp3 support on your system.
That will probably involve editing the spec file to enable mp3.
