For AIFF, you can review code from SOX(or other freeware) to get a very good
idea how it is structured. It won't be a complete spec, but it is free and
helpfull for people like me who think "the code is the most accurate
documentation" :). AIFF/AIFC is very close to the RIFF format in MS .wav
files. It contains the same length length/name preceded chunks of data (in
big-endian format) with special chunks to specify audio format and codec.
Code I wrote to parse/create both is very similar.
