There is also the wave format specifier, there can be many wave chunks
with the different parameters in one file, etc. etc. hell knows who and
why needs all of that.

Here is the utterly lazy method for writing WAVs:

1. Create a wav with the required parameters in the standard Windows
Sound Recorder.

2. Cut the header off. If you don't want to know what is the size of the
header, ~100 bytes from the beginning of the file will do.

3. Attach that header to your file
