Das
WAVE-Dateiformat ist ein Containerformat zur digitalen Speicherung von Audiodaten, das auf dem Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) aufsetzt, das von Microsoft für das Betriebssystem Windows definiert wurde.

The WAVE file format is a subset of Microsoft's RIFF specification for the storage of multimedia files. A RIFF file starts
out with a file header followed by a sequence of data chunks.

The following is taken from RIFFMCI.RTF, "Multimedia Programming Interface and
Data Specification v1.0", a Windows RTF (Rich Text Format) file contained in the .zip
file, RMRTF.ZRT. The original document is quite long and this constitutes pages 83-
95 of the text format version (starting on roughly page 58 of the RTF version).
