Thanks, William, len seems to be the most straightforward solution,
as far as I can tell. From line 2868 of the (Feb 1, 2013) sox man page
         len  is the length of audio to synthesise expressed as a
         time or as a number of samples; 0=inputlength, default=0.
Re "getting it right", yeah, sox's (Feb 1, 2013) man page
has 3264 lines on my box, many of which remain a bit cryptic to me.

And Loki Harfagr also followed-up...

Thanks, Loki. That seems just about equally straightforward, i.e.,
from line 3024 of the (Feb 1, 2013) sox man page
         For example,
            sox infile outfile trim 0 10
         will copy the first ten seconds, while
