Surprise: rec | nc

rec reads from a device and writes to stdout;
netcat reads from stdin and writes to a socket;
the opposite happens on the other end: nc | play.

On systems that have standard tools for fundamental things
(such as: read your input and send it down a network socket)
this is indeed a one-liner. But you are on windows;
maybe windows also has a netcat, I don't know.

Also note that this is not specific to SoX:
it could be arec/aplay with ALSA, or aucat/aucat on OpenBSD,
or any other program capable of recording/playback.
