What I understand is you want the music playing during the
entire voice track - but the music should keep playing for 5
seconds after the voice ends?

I would use a shell script.  That would allow me to get the
length of "voice.wav" and put its value in a variable.  Then
add 5 seconds, and put that into the "fade" effect.

Maybe it's possible to do only in SoX - but I don't know how.
