Playing compressed .wav files

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc.multimedia (More info?)

Hello all...
I have a voicemail system at work that sends voicemail to Exchange as a
compressed .wav file. We have a number of users that use handheld wireless
phones with Pocket Mobile 2003 installed, but Media Player will not play
them. Does anyone know of a way to get Media Player, or 3rd party software
to play these?
Thank you for your time.
Ed

The files are compressed with G.711. Apparently Windows Media
Player 10 will play them, but MP9 won't. Microsoft KB article
814127 talks about the exact problem I'm having, but I believe
the article references MP 9 with XP, not PPC. I was wondering
if there is a similar fix for the PPC.
