I can confirm that SoX returns this error when you try to output an MP3 file. In my case, I was trying to convert a FLAC file to an MP3 file with "sox -i -V4 "song.flac" "song.mp3". Trying it with sudo of course didn't change anything. Also, I installed Sox and libsox-fmt-all through Synaptic, if that helps.
