It turns out that mplayer itself can do the conversion. The .wav file sounds fine played back from the hard disk, but I have problems burning to a CD. The burn seems to be fine. The CD is detected as an audio CD and the track starts playing, but all I hear is beeps and bleeps. I tried both normal and byte-swapped burns using xcdroast. Here's what mplayer reports on playback: Playing cd-rw/foo.wav.
