Well, SoundEdit will open both snd resources and AIFF files.  You can "save as" any other type of
sound too.  Additionally, under System 7 we wrote all that code for you.  You can play the snd
resource using SndPlay and the AIFF file by calling SndStartFilePlay.

If you're not using System 7, then you'll have to open the AIFF file yourself and create
a standard sound header out of it.  It's pretty easy, but I don't have any sample code
to share.
