What problems would be created by adding a new chunk ?
The alternative would be a format that isn't standard at all.
The problems are as follows:
- There are many very broken WAV (and AIFF) file parsers.
- There is no central registry of the chunk names and hence
your chunk name may colide with a current or future chunk
name defined by someone else.
Yes, been there before I posted. It's probably a matter of taste,
but I don't find this much cleaner than adding a new chunk.
It has the advantage of being robuts, future proof and usable
now.
