Monster Sounds?

Hey all, first post here that I can remember.

I play P&P D&D, and make heavy use of an iPod to port in music, sounds,
and other audio effects in my games. These range from background music
and combat tracks through monster sound effects to funny/apropos quips
gleaned from movies, television shows, and video games.

I played through and loved the BG and BGII games, and have already
ripped the music out of both of them (along with a fair amount of the
combat tracks -- devilish little puzzles to put together, those!) I'm
interested in getting sounds from NPCs and especially monsters.

You know how you can right-click on a monster in combat and it will make
a noise or say something? Like the ogre saying, "YOU MESS WITH ME --
YOU MESS WITH *ME*!", or the gnolls insane laughter. That's what I'd
like to get as little sound clips. Do these exist online somewhere? If
not, what programs would help me rip the sounds from the game file quickly?

It's not that I wouldn't want to play through the game again, it's just
that I haven't the time that I used to and it would be very clunky
opening and closing the game window to start and stop recording!

Thanks,

- Ron ^*^

My first try would be near infinity.

can be cumbersome to use at first, but you learn pretty quickly,
you should be able to extract the sounds into wav files.
