Hi Ken!
   I have Ecasound, sndfile-convert and sox. But from these three I deem 
sndfile-convert to be the best. but I seem to remember, that Fons Adriaensen 
recently released a tool/library to do the same task. I believe it is as good 
as or better than sndfile-convert. I seem to recall, that there were issues 
with finetuning dithering, that sndfile didn't offer. As I said, I'm not 100% 
syure about that.
   If in doubt and not wanting to get to any more troubles installing 
something: use sndfile-convert. It has always served me nicely!
   Kindly yours
             Julien
