WAV Sample Files
WAV (.wav) files store uncompressed PCM audio data, preserving full fidelity at the cost of larger file sizes. Common in professional audio recording and editing, they support various sample rates and bit depths. Use sample .wav files to verify read/write performance, channel configurations, and metadata chunk parsing in audio pipelines.
