I seem to be doing a lot of fiddling with file formats these days... if
you have a reasonably short example (eg less than 1MByte), you can send
it to me as an email attachment (try zipping it with Winzip first), and
I will take a long hard look at it...

and yes, converting to WAVE might well be a useful thing to do, if you
are running a PC.

PS SOX cannot always be trusted. The version that came with my Redhat
5.2 Linux system puts a chunk size in the initial FORM part of the AIFF
header that is larger than the overall file size!
