There are lots of different types of `voc' files which can contain
quite complicated types of data. I only wrote a converter for the
simple types, i.e. uncompressed voice data. The audio-formats
FAQ (which I used as documentation) doesn't even mention a block
type 9, so I assume that it is quite new.

You could take a look at the SOX (sound exchange) program, which
can handle lots more data types than my own routines. I don't know
if this includes the one you need.
