Please, if you need to go your own way anyways, try to get that file
format unix-like. So f.i. use the ar format as container for f.i.
individual audio tracks and a seperate metadata file, f.i. structured
using XML. [This is the way GLAME will create its internal format -
anybody knows of existing "single-track" audio-file-format which can
deal with float sample data? (wav doesnt)]
