If you are not sure about the format of an audio file, you can add the .auto extension to the filename.
This triggers SoX to guess what kind of audio format is contained in the file. The .auto
extension can be used only for the input file. If SoX can figure out the content of the input file, it
translates the contents to the sound type for the output file you request.
