My bet is on the SIREN-16 codec (G.722.1), which is used for the audio stream in video conversations (new in 7.0), as well as pure voice conversations. It can also be used for the old video conferences that are RTP-based if agreed upon (I think it's the client's first priority if available). Now, there are no open source implementations of this codec AFAIK, but the alternative route I guess is to use wineloader and use the DLL bundled with MSN Messenger >= 7.0, dubbed "MSN Messenger Audio Codec", which gets installed to "c:\windows\system32\sirenacm.dll". Someone should also verify that the clips are indeed saved encoded with the same codec (they probably are, as using lossy compression on some content twice isn't exactly a good idea).
