+A non-standard variant of

+Some applications cannot read a standard WAV file header for PCM-encoded
+data with sample-size greater than 16-bits, but can read a non-standard
+WAV header. It is likely that such applications will eventually be
+updated to support the standard header, but in the mean time, this SoX
+format can be used to create files with the non-standard header that
+should work with these applications. (Note that SoX will automatically
+detect and read WAV files with the non-standard header.)
