but mp3 support is steel broken
i try to recode 1.ogg to 1.mp3 and...

# sox Liigua.ogg Liigua.mp3
sox formats: can't open output file `Liigua.mp3': SoX was compiled without MP3 encoding support

can you provide sox package with mp3 support in medibuntu repository?
thanks.

sox supports mp3 in ubuntu now (libsox-fmt-mp3 package).
