I used sox on a linux box. sox is really cool as it can convert from  
virtually any coding to another. I'd be willing to bet that a version  
of sox could be found for the MAC OS X. I just checked, not built in  
but will search for it. sox is used pretty heavily in the IRLP world  
to convert .wav files to .ul (.ulaw) and back.

Try looking at http://sox.darwinports.com/
