Summary: sox monkey.wav monkey.mp3 doesn't work

Initial Comment:
Command in title doesn't work and gives no useful error messages.

sox FAIL formats: can't open output file `monkey.mp3': LAME initialization failed

If command is changed to "sox monkey.wav -r 44100 monkey.mp3" then it works so its probably related to lame only accepting a subset of sample rates.

At minimum, we should increase above error message to say "Try different sample rate.".  Probably better we should auto-change output sample rates to closest matching value that lame supports.
