Aha, I see!  I use btaudio, so my sample rate is 32000.   That might explain a 
bit.  There's /got/ to be something to do the downsample... I'll have a look 
on Google.  I guess the thing to do would be to have nuvexport determine the 
sample rate in the .nuv file, then down/up-sample as needed on the fly, 
assuming we can locate the appropriate utilitiy.  Would 'sox' work?
