Indeed I did. It took a ridiculously long time. This is what I had to work with from the BW mpq files.
2895 totally untitled .wav files, which had to be categorised, named appropriately and then converted from .wav to .ogg.
Not to knock your work now, but there is a tool to extract all the sounds which places them in folders for the three races, sorted by unit.
Yeah, a friend pointed this out to me a few days ago. Pretty annoying, but there was a vague structure behind the default MPQ .wav's anyway. All Protoss voices are numbered 2056 - 2345, Terran 2346 - 2667 and Zerg 2668 - 2895. Then each units audio responses are next to each other within those numbers. Yeah, it would have saved me a ridiculous amount of time, but I got there in the end anyway.
For anyone who never played BW and went straight to SC2,
Zerg players, you should * DEFINITELY* do this. The in-game sounds for Zerg are by far the worst when compared to their BW counterparts. Just listen to the youtube video. The quality is great and these sounds are just plain better.
Hi all. For any fellow protoss like myself who would prefer the dragoon voices on stalkers, I switched around the sounds file so that's the case. I took whatever was on the stalkers (I think it's fenix, haven't played bw campaign in a while) and put it on immortals to balance it out.

This is an awful change, cannot believe you would not only change someone's masterpiece, but you make it worse! This is like painting a smile on the Mona Lisa to make her look a tad more cheerful. Good lord.

I actually like the dragoon on the stalker. Makes more sense to me.

Notice that it says battle.net? Yep you can download it from battle.net (not sure if it's intentional or not).
http://classic.battle.net/sounds.xmls <- Use this to view what songs you can download. Also classic.battle.net has a tool under the Starcraft section that extracts all unit sounds and places them into folder (I know this was mentioned already but I'll mention it again since there are lots of goodies in the old battle.net site).
Though note that some songs may be a bit different (I think the Zerg one is different than the one you extract from MPQ. One of the zerg songs on battle.net site merges two songs into one file [or is it just the same song into one file?] I think while in the MPQ it's two separate files of one or two songs).
