Done!  File is "Creative 8-bit ADPCM samples.zip".  I've included the software 
used to pack them, but read the READTHIS.BAT file to see why it will be 
difficult if not impossible to get it running without the original hardware. 
I've provided 8-/4-/3-/2-bit samples of two different pieces: one speech, one 
speech with music.  The speech with music sample trails off into silence, so it 
should make things easier to start reverse-engineering.

If anyone figures this out, *please* let me know as I have been wondering how 
it works (I have a thing for 8-bit audio compression).  Creative never released 
the details of the compression in any SDK.
