Valid Audio File for Linux

[David Quinn-Jacobs]

Could some kind soul someone email a valid sound file for Linux to me?  
I have tried every format I can think of, but the sound remains 
distorted.  AU files are only slightly off, but WAV files are just long, 
loud and scratchy noises.  I'm pretty sure I have tried uncompressed 
wav's in virtually every Khz and bit permutation.

I am new to Revolution, although I wrote an expert system shell in 
HyperCard back in the '80s.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
