Has anyone had any success with the UEF2WAVE.py Python script  
available on:
http://www.stairwaytohell.com/essentials/index.html?page=homepage
?

The results I've had trying to play the resulting wave files from an  
iPod into my beeb have been... mixed.

Originally my beeb seemed "deaf" and wouldn't acknowledge anything so  
I had a closer look at the wave files that it's producing and  
discovered that waveform it creates only goes from 0 to 128 - only the  
bottom half of the available 0-255 space in an 8-bit sample.

I edited the script to use the full range and now my beeb will load  
from the wav, but every fifth or sixth block will produce a "Block?"  
or "Data?" error which can be.. frustrating.

I'm on a Mac so I can't use the available Windows UEF tools. Are there  
any cross-platform tools that produce 16-bit wavs from UEFs? Or  
perhaps at a higher sample rate than 22khz? I'm wondering if a  
smoother sine wave will aid recognition.
