I was just preparing to ask this FAQ when I saw your posting. Thanks for
the pointer to sox. You are right about it working well though I've only
converted au to WAV files. The documentation does not mention that it will
convert to the latter but it worked a treat. Especially the volume switch
the first au file that I converted was quiet but sox boosted it up to a
useful level.

Now to find some more sounds to associate with Windows system events! :-)
