Last Sunday 09 January 2005 20:39, Andreas Kuckartz was like:
  WAV is based on the "Resource Interchange
Format" (RIFF) and the RIFF
 header contains an entry for the file length. RIFF is a modification of IFF
 and IFF was created by Electronic Arts for the Amiga. 
It always feels strange using .wavs - is there a 'best' or 'most free'
format
for full-range sound recordings?
cheers
