If you are using RedHat or CentOS, installing sox should be as simple as:
sudo yum install sox
Other distros have similar commands.

A quick grep through the Asterisk (1.2.28) sources shows res_monitor using
soxmix if the channel variable MONITOR_EXEC is not defined -- but nothing
in app_voicemail. Am I missing something?
