sphinx2-phone does 'all-phone' decoding. It uses context-independent phone models, and so is not very accurate. The example given words for the file named 'goforward', which it will decode for you; it's just example code for how you'd go about it.
The all-phone decode in sphinx3 will be more useable, as it at least can use a triphone grammar.
