Wellll, in addition to header differences, Sun .au sounds are mu-law encoded
and Macintosh sounds are 8-bit linear. Is the sample rate 8 kHz as would be
standard for Sun Audio?

I guess I might be willing to give this a try. I've been playing around with
both formats these days anyway, as a part of a Macintosh audioconferencing
system I'm writing.
