Plus, just in case, the other direction.

u16 ieee2lin(u16 ieee)
{
	s16 mantissa = (ieee & 0x3ff) + 0x400;
	int exponent = ((ieee >> 10) & 0x1f) - 25; 
	int sign = ieee & 0x8000;

	/* simple case */
	if (ieee == sign)
		return 0;

	/* map into lin11 number space */
	mantissa >>= 1;
	exponent++;

	while (mantissa && exponent < -15) {
		exponent++;
		mantissa >>= 1;
	}

	/* boundary checks */
	if (exponent < -15)	/* number too small */
		return 0;

	if (sign)
		mantissa = -mantissa;

	return (exponent << 11) | (mantissa & 0x7ff);
}
