Subject: sox runs a long time?
I am using the utility sox to convert and .ogg music file to .mp3 so I
can put it on my music player. I executed the command:

sox this_song.ogg this_song.mp3

at the command line. The original .ogg is about 4MB in size. sox has
been running 25 minutes now and is still eating 90+% of the CPU. The
target .mp3 file is created but has zero length.

Is it supposed to run this long? How do I know if sox is now a runaway
process?

I'm going to bed now and just leaving it running. If it is still going
in the morning, it's probably hung out somewhere. :^)
