I have at least one, and can get ahold of a simple command-line util that does
a wide range of soundfile conversions. They are, however, native OS/2 apps.
I suppose if you want to ship me the file, I can do the conversion for you.
OS/2 Warp's bundled Multimedia Viewer subsystem directly supports AU, AIF, and
in fact, almost all audio-file formats currently in use.
