Also, some .wav files are compressed which sounds pretty funky in
II.Sound.
The header on a .wav file is 44 bytes in length and contains the
following pertinent info:

00 - 52 49 46 46 (RIFF)
08 - 57 41 56 45 (WAVE)
...
14 - COMPRESSION (01 if uncompressed)
16 - # CHANNELS
18 - SAMPLE RATE (low byte first)
...
22 - BIT RATE
2C - START AUDIO DATA

Some time ago I built a quick and dirty Applesoft program that stripped
the headers and reduced stereo to mono, though I had some problems going
from 16-bit to 8-bit, so I never quite finished it.
