What is all this software you could find? Care to name examples?

I am pretty sure this encoding is well-compressed, unlike many other wav
files you have seen, and therefore you won't gain anything by this
unless you also intend to lower the quality considerably.
You might want to try using one of the "all the software you could find"
that has an option to save to a file somehow (wav or otherwise) and
convert this output. If none has, but you happen to realize e.g. that a
common factor to all is that they use libsndfile (sox doesn't), you
might want to try one of its example programs (I never did), e.g. in the
debian package sndfile-programs.
