Steven,
the package tarball
/ftp@ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/ \
binary-packages/sounds-wav-1.0-pkg.tar.gz
looks corrupted to me.
aichner@tomorrow(1) ls -l sound*
-rw-r--r--   1 aichner  stdsoft   163840 Jun  2 04:28 sounds-au-1.0-pkg.tar
-rw-r--r--   1 aichner  stdsoft   190181 Jun  2 04:23 sounds-wav-1.0-pkg.tar.gz
aichner@tomorrow(2) gunzip sounds-wav-1.0-pkg.tar.gz
aichner@tomorrow(3) !ls
ls -l sound*
-rw-r--r--   1 aichner  stdsoft   163840 Jun  2 04:28 sounds-au-1.0-pkg.tar

It expands to a suspicious size and Windows NT's explorer tells me
"This file is invalid or crrupted."
for all of the following which I checked with File->Properties->Details.
bark.wav
bass-snap.wav
boing.wav
bong.wav
click.wav
clink.wav
cuckoo.wav
ding.wav
...
yeep.wav
Later,
Adrian
