first of all sorry for the confusion, the above way of saving sound only works in older versions. I looked into it and here is a way to save the sound generated by the program, this time as WAV, 8 bit, stereo. But if you configure _NewSound differently and then put the correct resampling in the _NewSound field, you can of course save it in better quality (16 bit stereo or 32 bit stereo, SndStereoSave will handle that. The only thing I couldn't debug is the crackling at the end in the saved file, I'll fix it later, but if someone beats me to it, I'll be happy 
Here is a corrected version of the program without the end click. While I would swear that the above program worked correctly in some older versions (some of the early PE versions), it now throws errors in version 4.0. These are removed in the following program, as is the end click.
