They're from mybc.com's freebie voicemail.  I was hoping to set something up 
for the vocal equivalent of spam.

It lists two audio formats as options:
quicktime: .aif extension
and wav: .wav

I can always forward you one of the files if you wish.

ick.

 
 It lists two audio formats as options:

 and wav: .wav

so basically they're microsofted.  its anyone's guess what the hell they
are.

if they're no larger than 50K go ahead.  otherwise, no thanks.

FWIW, realplayer is supposed to be capable of playing WAV files too.

No dice here either, although file interprets it as this:
message.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 8000 Hz
