I wasn't paying attention, and just wanted to make sure that
you are not intending to mux raw pcm audio into your avi's.
The sox command I provided was just the "canonical" example.
You should probably use mp3 output if you intend to mux the
sox output. Muxing raw pcm would make your file huge.

BTW, the point of going through the seemingly insane steps
of using mplayer just to get PCM, and sox afterwards is
actually a way of leveraging all the error handling and 
correcting resources of mplayer and sox. There are broken
streams all over the place, and you want to avoid having
to bang your head against them if at all possible. There
are similar tricks for handling broken video. Video can
be broken in more ways than audio, however.
