Sounds like a job for Sox:

"The Swiss Army knife of sound processing programs. SoX is a 
cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Solaris, etc.) command line utility that 
can convert various formats of computer audio files in to other formats. 
It can also apply various effects to these sound files, and, as an added 
bonus, SoX can play and record audio files on many major platforms."
