Sample formats:


  IFF-8SVX        : The most normal format in the amiga world. It  supports
                    8  bit  quality,  mono/stereo  and  fibonacci  packing.
                    Fibonacci packing will halve the  size  of  the  sample
                    with nearly no quality loss :)

                    In the configuration you can  specify the internal name
                    of the sample and the author name, and whether you want
                    the sample packed with fibonacci or not.

                    If the sample is in stereo you have the possibility  to
                    save  it  as either a mono or a stereo sampling. If you
                    choose mono, the channels are mixed in 16  bit  quality
                    and then saved as an 8 bit mono sampling.

  IFF-AIFF        : This format originates from the Macintosh. It is mostly
                    used  on  the Macintosh,  but it's also  used by  other
                    platforms.

                    This converter supports conversion of 8 and 16 bit AIFF
                    samples,  mono  or  stereo.  To  see  which conversions
                    between stereo and mono that are possible see above  in
                    the IFF-8SVX description.

                    16 bit samples can be saved in  8  or  16  bit.  8  bit
                    samples can only be converted in 8 bit.

                    Like in the IFF-8SVX you can also specify  an  internal
                    name and author for the sample.


  RAW :             This  is  all  files  not covered by  the  above sample
                    formats. It can be anything from an  executeable  to  a
                    device  handler.  This is useful if you have some files
                    which you KNOW are samples but  they  haven't  got  any
                    header.  In the config you can tell APlayer exactly how
                    the sample is, and with this informations APlayer  will
                    create a header for the file.
                    The things that you have to tell APlayer is:

                    Quality   : 8 or 16 bit
                    Endian    : Big (highbyte first),Little (lowbyte first)
                                This is pretty technical, only change it if
                                nothing else works.
                    Type      : Signed or unsigned
                    Channels  : Mono or stereo
                    Frequency : The samplerate (5000 - 28000).
