I  expected the above command when executed to  hang and allow the start of 
xawtv in another terminal and the piping of sound.  There seems to be  a 
delay needed in  the above command to allow resampling of the sound.  I read 
the man page of sox  but the use of resample  is not straightforward.  I 
would be grateful for  you suggestions .
