The point is, if you post here asking for help with sox, but muddy the 
issue
by doing thing through pythin (or any other scripting language) no-one 
trying
to help you can be CERTAIN that the problem doesn't lie with your 
script.

If you issue the commands from a command prompt, anyone can exactly 
replicate
what you are doing (at least if we also had the source) and can rule out
scripts etc as a possible cause.

Why not?

If you're asking for help here telling us to read documentation for your 
scripting
language etc is not the way forward.

It'd be better if you spent time reading the sox documentation - so for 
example you
would then know about soxi.
