Isn't there a reference to "standard" headers for the various sound file 
formats- the way there is for MIDI files?  
For instance, for AIFF:

-and-

http://uweb.txstate.edu/~me02/tutorials/sound_file_formats/aiff/common.htm

and for WAVE:
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/WAVE/WAVE.html

I'm presuming here that in the case of, for example AIFF, the length of the raw 
binary sound data could be read by LiveCode so as to be able to define cksize 
and other chunk components. This could then be added to create the required 
header.

Am I mistaken?  Or would this be too much to bother with?  Perhaps the length 
of audio data, as opposed to MIDI data, makes this method impractical?
Of course, best would be for this to be a built-in function.
