Welcome to my world - as it used to be! The ring-pass-not is that word
'standardised". My AMB Wavex-based file format is now 22 years old
(FuMa, up to third-order). People have long moved on - basically as soon
as that was published, everyone here started arguing about all the other
information that should be included, alternative standards, channel
order, higher orders, filters, irregular layouts, the works. I am still
not too sure if even now things are standardised enough for anyone to
write a fresh file format for it that pleases everyone. Suffice it to
say, such things can't just be written,they have to be implemented and
tested, e.g. on vast tiered speaker layouts which very few people have
access to. And of course it will need to use a 64bit-friendly file
format too...
A reminder, for anyone feeling nostalgic:

Ah… it seems one has to actually click on the file to see that detail.
I was downloading from the list page.
Why not embed the a standardised format descriptor into the file itself?
Most formats permit that. In fact that's what we've been doing all along
e.g.in RIFF WAVE.
