Actually, my recommendation is AIFF. The problem with .wav is that billg
et al have bastardized the format to contain any kind of sound, with any
kind of compression (there are even MP3 encoded .wav files -- no joke).
.aiff is elemental and uncompressed by definition, and most audio software
will read and write it. (AIFF-C is the compressed form, but it's much less
frequently found.)
