A reader that skips that header by length instead of walking the chunks breaks on `wav/sine-440hz-3s-48k-24bit-stereo.wav`, whose extensible header puts the samples at byte 68, on `wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-32bit-float-stereo.wav`, whose float header and `fact` chunk put them at 58, and on `wav/with-list-chunk-3s.wav`, whose LIST/INFO chunk of title and artist tags pushes them to 94. `wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-32bit-float-stereo.wav` also breaks code that reads only integers: its 32-bit samples are IEEE float, which such a reader refuses or plays as noise. `wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-8bit-stereo.wav` holds 8-bit samples, which WAV stores unsigned with silence at the midpoint, so a reader that treats them as signed turns that silence into full scale. `wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-16bit-mono.wav` is the canonical file in one channel, for code that assumes two. `wav/10mb.wav` is exactly 10,000,000 bytes, the 44-byte header plus 16-bit stereo frames of four bytes each, so its 56,689 ms follow from its size: the file for upload limits that must be hit to the byte. ## Files | Path | Size | MIME | Properties | |---|---|---|---| | [`wav/10mb.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/10mb.wav) | 10 MB (10,000,000 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 56.689 s, pcm_s16le, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels | | [`wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-16bit-mono.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-16bit-mono.wav) | 264.6 KB (264,644 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_s16le, 44.1 kHz, 1 channel | | [`wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-16bit-stereo.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-16bit-stereo.wav) | 529.2 KB (529,244 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_s16le, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels | | [`wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-32bit-float-stereo.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-32bit-float-stereo.wav) | 1.1 MB (1,058,458 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_f32le, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels | | [`wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-8bit-stereo.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/sine-440hz-3s-44k-8bit-stereo.wav) | 264.6 KB (264,644 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_u8, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels | | [`wav/sine-440hz-3s-48k-24bit-stereo.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/sine-440hz-3s-48k-24bit-stereo.wav) | 864.1 KB (864,068 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_s24le, 48 kHz, 2 channels | | [`wav/with-list-chunk-3s.wav`](https://loremfile.dev/wav/with-list-chunk-3s.wav) | 529.3 KB (529,294 bytes) | `audio/wav` | 3 s, pcm_s16le, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels | The same list as JSON: .
