There are a couple of options that I know of:

	1)  The Microsoft Multimedia Development Kit includes a program
	called CONVERT.  It offers AIFF as one of its options for source
	files.  Having never used its conversion filter I cannot comment
	on whether or not it works though.
	
	2)  I released a freeware (though not PD) program called "To Wave"
	that will add a Wave file header to _any_ input file.  The input
	file doesn't even have to be a sound :-)  You basically just select
	the appropriate flags for the output file (e.g. 11Khz, 8bit, Mono)
	and select the files that you want converted.  It is available
	on Compu$erve in the WINADV forum and it should be a short
	download.
	
	"To Wave" isn't the best solution in the world but it works for any
	source format as long as the original sound isn't at a sampling rate
	other than 11, 22, or 44Khz or compressed.

P.S.  Maybe somebody else knows if "To Wave" has been made available for 
FTP somewhere.  I don't have access myself.
