I've been using Sound Forge XP (Windows app) to edit sound data lately
and I
noticed the WAV saving options are huge. I think WAV has become a little
more like IFF where the IFF standard supports many different types of
data.
While IFF supports sound, graphics, palettes, anims, music etc. WAV is
still
only a sound format but it can contain many different types of sound
including WMA and MP3. So the WAV format seems to be a wrapper for lots
of
other types. It's obvious that you'll have a big job trying to support
all
different forms of WAV.
I think the standard PCM 8/16bit, mono/stereo WAV's are probably what we
all know to be the standard format.
Cheers,
Paul
