For 9 series on PPC and Smartphone, according to this page
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/w [...] ility.aspx
you should have no problem playing content encoded using the voice
codec : I've got a 2.5 hour french course I encoded in WMA9-Voice so
it would fit on a 32 meg SD card ;-)

I'd examine the fiole more closely to ensure you've used the codec you
think you have to encode it. How did you set up the encode profile ?

No codec downloads are available for PPCs as far as I'm aware.
