Lame is an MP3 encoder, not a decoder. The MP3 decoder used by SoX is
mad. You'll need to build sox with support for mad, and you'll need to
come up with a libmad DLL.

Some Lame DLLs include a copy of mpglib so that the DLL provides both
encoding and decoding support. SoX doesn't currently support using
mpglib for decoding.
