[comp.sys.mac.programmer] sound file formats

sqphil@csvax.liv.ac.uk (04/19/88)

Does anyone have an exhaustive listing of the different formats for sounds
as found in things like adventures and the like. MacNifty is fairly
straightforward and seems to consist of a simple stream of values stored in the 
data fork of a file of type 'FSSD'. The values range from 0 to 255. If data
compression is used then the first four bytes of the file are set to 'HCOM'.
Basically we have gotten hold of some sound samples in a PD adventure game.
They are resources of type ASND and we want some of them for a Hypercard
stack. Does anyone know their format (and if possible any others) or do we
have to spend days attempting to discover it?
