Perfect Sound uses 8SVX, so if Sonix can read 8SVX, it should work.  (Why does
Sonix use a non-compatible format anyway???).  I talked to the president of
SunRize, and he suggested trying AudioMaster.  Apparently it's good at sound
format conversions.  I've never used it though, so I can't comment...

I wrote that program...  I heard an old rumor somewhere that Sonix uses the
old workbench demo sound format, but I don't have it so I can't verify that.
The converter program goes the wrong way anyway (demo -> 8SVX)

Disclaimer:  I do some part-time programming for SunRize Industries.
