That's possible, but you have to tell sox how the raw file
should be parameterized, e. g. sampling frequency, channels,
bit width. There are command line parameters that can be
used for that, e. g. 

	% sox mysound.wav -r 44100 -c 2 -w -s mysound.raw

The type "raw" means that there's no header in the file,
it's just the plain data, for example as the hardware CD
player uses it (which is the CDR file format - CD audio).
In this case, you have to specify how to build those raw
data elements from the original waveform file (WAV does
have a header that describes its content).
