Whoa, I didn't know that there are so many sound file converters out  
there. If only one of them would do the trick...

SoundHack only reads 4 byte floats (as does Switch, which I had tried  
first). But it does read text file input which can also be generated  
by MacSpice. It's a bit complicated, I first have to load the text  
file into a spreadsheet program and pick the column that contains the  
data and then copy/paste into a text file. But it works.

Max does not read float data, at least I cannot find out how.

SoX seems to be the ticket, but doesn't run on my Mac here, no idea  
why. It just says "cannot execute binary file". Maybe my OS is too  
old? I'm still on OSX 10.4. I already asked for help on the SoX  
user's mailing list.

Octave can write sound files such as AIFF or WAV? I have to look  
further into this.

Thanks all for your help so far!

Ingo
