What program did you use to convert them? They seem cutoff.
For example, you don't here the "s" at the end of nose.wav very well.
They play fine in mplayer, but not with aplay.

But wav files are about 10x larger than their ogg equivalents.
Not really trivial.  If we do the conversion using oggdec and only
where necessary then I agree with this solution.
