[ADPCM] What's the best ADPCM player?

Hello!

I've found some audio files in a game's CD, which appear to be IMA ADPCM. Usual players such as foobar or Winamp can't read them. Goldwave recognizes them as ADPCM 4-bit mono, but the sound is terribly clipping. I've heard that 4-bit audio is reaching full scale faster than 8-bit for example, but Goldwave doesn't allow more than 4-bit on ADPCM. I know that these files have more than 4-bit of resolution, and they are also stereo from what I hear ingame.

Is there a player that would read these adpcm with 8 or 16 bit resolution? Thanks.
Sorry for my bad english.

SoX can load ADPCM and convert it to any of a number of more convenient formats. It's also Free.

SoX is probably the most useful sound format tool in existance, it should be part of everybody's audio toolkit.

Thanks for that link, but I can't even get static with this program (Goldwave gave static when I specified an incorrect format). It doesn't seem to read the file at all (the output file's size is 44 bytes).
