"""Convert "arbitrary" sound files to AIFF (Apple and SGI's audio format). Input may be compressed. Uncompressed file type may be AIFF, WAV, VOC, 8SVX, NeXT/Sun, and others. An exception is raised if the file is not of a recognized type. Returned filename is either the input filename or a temporary filename; in the latter case the caller must ensure that it is removed. Other temporary files used are removed by the function.
