Merge two audio files using Sox (different length, but output should be of same length)

I would like to merge a couple of audio files using Sox. Lets say the two files are A1 & X1, where A1 would be the background noise and X1 the speech.



Now I can use sox -m to merge these two files.



However, both the files are of different length. I would want the file A1 to extend/shrink to fit the overall size of X1,X2....Xn. This is important as well, as I'm training my ASR on this data and ideally, background noise shouldn't abruptly end,
