This situation is an instance of a more general problem with the babel
of formats, which motivated a forthcoming special issue of Speech
Communication:

  Speech Annotation and Corpus Tools
  http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/specom.html
  (Steven Bird & Jonathan Harrington, eds)

Various projects are addressing this need for standard formats, and
a good starting point is the Linguistic Annotation page.

  Linguistic Annotation

Updates welcome...
