Have a look at AudialHub, from the makers of the excellent VisualHub:

You can drag the files into the AudialHub window, pick your output  
format, and go.  It's a commercial product, but in unlicensed mode it  
will convert up to a minute of each file.  If your sounds are mostly  
beeps and boops this should be okay.  I used it to convert and trim a  
3-second sound file for a web site I'm working on.
