I hear say that ".AU" files, which I THINK is a file format that Sun invented, are (losslessly) compressed. Anybody know if helper apps for .AU files are common, or does pretty much everybody use .WAV in web pages? Also, I heard from a not-so-authoritative authority that .WAV files encode ONLY the raw audio data, and do NOT encode sample size, sample rate, nor number of channels. Anybody know if that's true?
