WAV in het kort
WAV
WAV grew out of the RIFF multimedia framework created by Microsoft and IBM, which is why it still feels close to desktop and production-tool audio interchange rather than a streaming-first delivery format.
IMA ADPCM in het kort
IMA ADPCM
IMA ADPCM comes from the early multimedia period, when desktop and embedded systems needed speech and general audio compression that was modest enough for limited CPUs and storage.
