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.  :^)
