I assume this means you tried opening it with CMX Studio. You'd think 
if anything could open it, that would since that program comes from 
qualcomm. Sounds like a challenge then. I don't have anything on my Mac 
that recognizes the format. (I already tried "cat  vst_memo3 > 
/dev/audio" on my sparc/Solaris box. Static. That would have been too 
easy. I don't know the identity of any raw audio devices in MacOS.)

I'll look into this further. I can think of some cool uses for voice 
memos retrieved from the phone.
