...No - it does not increase complexity, nor does it impose any requirements on implementations, since instead of a 32-bit identifier we use the entire first packet of the stream to check for compatability. No, your media player does -NOT- have to support 256 channel audio, nor must it support audisonic, or 64-bit audio, etc. There's no reason, however, to force everything into artificial, arbitrary limitations based on what we believe is reasonable for today. If a media player only supports a subset of what the codec supports, that's completely fine and expected. > I have little...

WAV is usually little endian but there is also a (very rare) big endian version. AIFF is usually little endian but also supports big endian encoding. CAF, AU, IRCAM and a number of others support both endian-nesses equally. > or would it be reasonable > to settle
