I have attached a C program I wrote to convert Sun Microsystems u-law encoded
audio files to linear sound data files. The latter files can be read by
SoundMover ("Open any" mode) and converted to Mac snd resources. Anyone with a
Sun Sparcstation and a microphone ought to be able to make their own Mac sounds.
You have to remember to set the sampling rate in SoundMover to the value encoded
in the audio file (usually, if not always, 8.0 kHz.) SoundMaster will still want
to play them at 7.4 kHz, I think, but they sound OK.
There is no Makefile. You can simply "cc" it on your Sparcstation. If someone
incorporates this into a Mac utility (such as SoundMover, hint, hint) all I
ask is a free copy.
Please upload this to an appropriate directory.

/* sun_audio2mac_linear.c
* This program was written April 6, 1992 by Victor J. Heintz
* (vic:wbst128@xerox.com)
*
* Converts Sun Microsystems u-law encoded ".au" sound files to
* linear sound data files. These files are compatible as input
* to SoundMover with the "Open any" option.
* Uses a look up table to translate u-law encoded sound bytes to
* linear sound bytes as used in Macintosh snd resources.
* The look-up table was generated by applying the audio_u2c macro
* defined in the Sun ulaw2linear.h file to values from 0 to 255.
* The audio file header structure was taken from the audio_filehdr.h
* file in the Sun SOUND demo package.
* I am distributing this freely in the hopes that someone will write
* a Mac tool that recognizes Sun u-law format sounds ( and of course
* let me have a free copy.)
