Just as a real 'use case' of how .wav files can be used (or ?abused). I created a file with one cycle of a sine wave, wavelength 45 minutes ... I could share it on the net ... I used it for things like: out.wav = in.wav [multiplied by] sine.wav .wav files are ideal for this ... though probably not what they were intended for. (Audio software can even be used to create them.) No idea what folks who do physical measurements over time use as file formats (light intensity over 24 hours for example), but if I didn't know of anything better .wav would fit the bill. But this is straying a little off topic ...
