You might try using "lame" instead. Evidently sox doesn't support mp3
encoding. In the simplest case you can just do

lame file.wav file.mp3

This by default gives you a 128 kbps mp3

If you want to convert , say, .ogg to mp3 you can do it by first using sox
to convert the .ogg to .wav . Of course converting one compressed format
to another is guaranteed to lose quality, but it appears to work (just
tried it as an experiment) I imagine the two operations could be piped ,
although I haven't tried that.

The lame package is in multiverse.
