You'll need to find out the length of the shorter file beforehand (with "soxi -s file", e.g.), then do something like
sox --combine mix file1 file2 out trim 0 123456s
(where 123456 is the number of samples soxi told you). Depending on what you want, it might be mix-power instead of mix.

If you want to automate this, I'm out as I don't know the scripting ways of Windows. But it's probably possible; I could do it with *nix bash.
