You missunderstood, more basically:
You pick the sox package, you rename it with sox-freeworld.
You add the lame-devel and others and remove the final files that are
already provided by sox.
Probably that the sox binary is more or less the same as the fedora package.
You will ends with a sox plugin for lame/mp3 support.

If the module support isn't enabled in sox, this probably need to be
coordinated with the fedora package.
I remember to have sent a patch to sox upstream about that.
