 *
 * September 8, 1993
 * Copyright 1993 T. Allen Grider - for changes to support block type 9
 * and word sized samples.  Same caveats and disclaimer as above.
 *
 * February 22, 1996
 * by Chris Bagwell (cbagwell@sprynet.com)
 * Added support for block type 8 (extended) which allows for 8-bit stereo
 * files.  Added support for saving stereo files and 16-bit files.
 * Added VOC format info from audio format FAQ so I don't have to keep
 * looking around for it.
 *
 * February 5, 2001
 * For sox-12-17 by Annonymous (see notes ANN)
 * Added comments and notes for each procedure.
 * Fixed so this now works with pipes, input does not have to
 * be seekable anymore (in startread() )
 * Added support for uLAW and aLaw (aLaw not tested).
 * Fixed support of multi-part VOC files, and files with
 * block 9 but no audio in the block....
 * The following need to be tested:  16-bit, 2 channel, and aLaw.
 *
 * December 10, 2001
 * For sox-12-17-3 by Annonymous (see notes ANN)
 * Patch for sox-12-17 merged with sox-12-17-3-pre3 code.

Detailed description of new data blocks (VOC files version 1.20 and above):

        (Source is fax from Barry Boone at Creative Labs, 405/742-6622)

BLOCK 8 - digitized sound attribute extension, must preceed block 1.
          Used to define stereo, 8 bit audio
        BYTE bBlockID;       // = 8
        BYTE nBlockLen[3];   // 3 byte length
        WORD wTimeConstant;  // time constant = same as block 1
        BYTE bPackMethod;    // same as in block 1
        BYTE bVoiceMode;     // 0-mono, 1-stereo

        Data is stored left, right

BLOCK 9 - data block that supersedes blocks 1 and 8.
          Used for stereo, 16 bit (and uLaw, aLaw).

        BYTE bBlockID;          // = 9
        BYTE nBlockLen[3];      // length 12 plus length of sound
        DWORD dwSamplesPerSec;  // samples per second, not time const.
        BYTE bBitsPerSample;    // e.g., 8 or 16
        BYTE bChannels;         // 1 for mono, 2 for stereo
        WORD wFormat;           // see below
        BYTE reserved[4];       // pad to make block w/o data
                                // have a size of 16 bytes

        Valid values of wFormat are:

                0x0000  8-bit unsigned PCM
                0x0001  Creative 8-bit to 4-bit ADPCM
                0x0002  Creative 8-bit to 3-bit ADPCM
                0x0003  Creative 8-bit to 2-bit ADPCM
                0x0004  16-bit signed PCM
                0x0006  CCITT a-Law
                0x0007  CCITT u-Law
                0x02000 Creative 16-bit to 4-bit ADPCM

        Data is stored left, right

        ANN:  Multi-byte quantities are in Intel byte order (Little Endian).

/* When saving samples in VOC format the following outline is followed:
 * If an 8-bit mono sample then use a VOC_DATA header.
 * If an 8-bit stereo sample then use a VOC_EXTENDED header followed

 * If a 16-bit sample (either stereo or mono) then save with a
 * VOC_DATA_16 header.
 *
 * ANN:  Not supported:  uLaw and aLaw output VOC files....

 * This approach will cause the output to be an its most basic format
