For those of us without a windows machine, could someone hand me a
.wav decompression of the windows media samples?  Yeah, yeah, I know
the license says don't do it.  Be sneaky.

Of course, I think it just boils down to 'Microsoft has an odd
definition of CD quality".  But I won't know that till hearing the samples.

(also, are those mono or stereo samples? I'd imagine they're stereo,
but if they're not, well, geez :-)
