Well, ever seen Microsoft ADPCM in WAV files, for example? That type of encoding could also be called compression. Traditionally, the WAVE RIFF file format has always been a container for audio data, being capable of storing formats not limited to PCM (or μ-law or A-law to mention two ancient encodings). MP1 or MP2 data in WAV files has been seen more than a decade ago. And files with MP3 in WAV are out in the wild, too, for several years. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
