|::EXEC:: sox ... && mpeg_musicin ...

Yep. I just captured a clip, installed the FreeBSD mpeg_audio package, and
got the same error.
::EXEC:: sox ... mpeg_musicin -l 2 -p 1 t.raw.aiff t.raw.mp2 && rm t.raw.aiff
SmpFrqIndex: 0 is not a legal sample rate
in "t.raw.aiff".
However if I use the mpeg_musicin exec I compiled on my machine straight
from the mpeg_audio package, it works just fine.
This is the problem I was thinking of. There is/has been something screwy
about the FreeBSD mpeg_audio port for years. It won't swallow an AIFF file
output by sox. Adding a simple -x to sox isn't sufficient to marry them
together either.
Just grab mpeg_audio and build yourself an executable, and you should be
fine. See Appendix A in the fxtv README file for a HOW-TO:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fxtv/README

|I'm not able to reach that site now, but i'll try again in a little bit. :)
Don't worry about it. It's mpeg_audio that's tripping you up.
|Also, I'm not sure if I mentioned this the first time or not, but Windows
|and QuickTime are able to read the aiff file just fine.
Interesting. So likely the SOX-generated AIFF file is in fact valid, and
mpeg_musicin is just limited in what AIFF formats it'll accept.
