In the referenced posting, joe@gistdev.gist.com (Joe Brownlee) has some sound files which produce only static when converted for use with Master Juggler. It sounds like these are compressed sound files. Have a look at at the data fork of the file with a tool like Fedit Plus--if the first four bytes are the letters "HCOM", then it's a "Huffman delta" compressed file. Somewhere on the net there is the source to a program called SoundPlay, which includes assembly-language code for doing the decompression.
