	"twos" codec shouldn't be too hard to support. From this Apple
page:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/quicktime/qtdevdocs/QTFF/qtff-69.html

 k16BitBigEndianFormat 
  'twos' 
 Samples are stored uncompressed, in two's-complement format (sample
values range from -128 to 127 for 8-bit audio, and -32768 to 32767 for 1-
bit audio; 0 is always silence). These samples are stored in 16-bit
big-endian format. 

It seems that MPlayer should be able to pipe this straight out to the OSS
driver.

	True, the Autodesk format is quite simple. Anyone want to
implement it? I might have a go at it if no one else wants the task.
