The problem is that the "voc" sounds format is similar to the "tiff"
picture data format - there are numerous different possible "block types"
(in tiff: tag types), new ones get created every now and then, and few
programs are able to support all of them.

So, if you can lay your hands on something that documents block type "9"
(assumed that it's not a bug in voctopvf), I think Klaus may be willing to
implement handling it...
