Setup vonage to send the voicemails to your relay address and they come back to you in a nice converted format.
I just tried Gillesk's process as a temporary solution until I can figure out how to handle .wav files natively on the the Q. It took about an hour to get a confirmation email back from them to set up the process and everything worked as advertised. The actual process of Vonage sending the email to them, it getting converted and sent to me took about 1 minute. I set it up to convert the .wav file to .wma which took a 159KB file and shrunk it down to 18KB. Sound quality of the file wasn't awe-inspiring but perfectly understandable.

I would still rather find a native Q solution, but it appears that this is a great work-around in the meantime. Thanks Gillesk!
