Plpext (good luck spelling that any way you want) is a simple application to retrieve audio snippets that you may have used in MSN Live Messenger with the very unofficial add-on Messenger Plus years ago, and somehow left in your backups as a weird, unreadable .plp file.
It is also a rewrite of the very aptly-named MessengerPlusSoundBankExtractor with an improved project design. The plpext-core solution now contains everything related to file manipulation and playback, leaving the front-end fully free to do as it wishes.
