Funny how it took me about 30 mins of research and coding to come up with a 
working program, when previously I didn't know a single thing about it.  It 
didn't require any skills beyond being able to set up a struct and calling 
windows API functions.  In my book ludicrously difficult is when I think and 
work on something for *weeks* or *months* and cannot get anywhere close to a 
working program.

IIRC that's exactly what I did at some point previously.  I guessed/knew the 
samples were in 16bit stereo format, so just took 4 bytes at a time from the 
file and experimented with the order until the result wasn't white noise!
