it seems to use streaming.

all datas are one-filed in "silkcut.dat" and crunched with stonecracker (?!? perhaps like Titanic crunchers, by blocks of 64 kb)

the demo : http://ada.planet-d.net/showdemo.php?demoid=356

Its an ADPCM stream, but the coding is possibly proprietory. There is an MP3 version linked to in the comments for it on pouet.net.

It's VAG format, standard CD-ROM/XA ADPCM (invented by Philips), wrapped in a few proprietary bytes of header by Sony. It was the standard sound format on PSX and it's the standard sound format on PS2.

You can use the programs vagpack and vagdepack by bITmASTER:

If you want a handy Windows GUI, you could try Konverter. I think MFAudio also does it.
