Thanks for the news, Mario.

Now, Sony, uh... what?  You're willing to tell us the details of the 3D
graphics files, the 2D graphics files, the sequencer files, the VAB files,
the VAG files, and.... then you balk at telling us how to interpret the
bits in the actual sound samples?  

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that this is more than a little
surreal.  What value is there in keeping the ADPCM format secret?  

Thanks,
  Flynn
