In fact, it won't be happy at all -- you used an apostrophe where you
meant to use a backquote...

But that aside, use sed rather than cut to solve your problem:

	outfile=`echo "$infile" | sed 's/.wav$/-11025.wav/'`

If you're using a POSIX compliant shell, you can achieve the same effect
with parameter substitution:

	outfile="${infile%.wav}-11025.wav"

Oh, and you'll want to quote "$infile" and "$outfile" when you dereference
them to call sox. Otherwise it'll fail with filenames containing whitespace.
