I spent some time trawling through many programs that do sound conversion. To start with, I found that very few utilities advertised for sound conversion can actually cope with RAW as an output format. So I grabbed a copy of all I found, installed and tested them. This is what I recommend if you want to create RAW files to be used with the Solaris.
Two options, shareware and freeware. I didn't consider the heavy weights like WaveLab or SoundForge. If you just need to convert a few WAV files into RAW, no point. Secondly, I disregarded utilities that I deemed too expensive as shareware programs.
This left me with only two programs.
1- SoX
http://sox.sourceforge.net/
Excellent, does what it says on the tin. Bonus, it works on Linux, Mac and PC. And it's free (well, donateware).
Downside, command line interface only, unless I missed a GUI front-end somewhere.
2- Switch Audio Converter
http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
Again, excellent software. Works on Mac (Intel or PPC) and PC.
There is a free version available (right side of the page). However, I found it so good that I purchased a license for $30 to make use of the advanced facilities such as batch conversions. It does more than that of course. A real Swiss army knife for audio files (including working with iPod, PSP...).
Don't hesitate to add to this list if you find something else worth mentioning.
