Not really sure what you're seeing here that's so abnormal other than the
PAD chunk.  Many RIFF tools (mosly video encoders) write RIFFs with
similar blocks (i.e. JUNK, INFO)

Anything reading RIFFs should not have a hard-coded sequence of expected
chunks.  Any FCC is legal within the context of a RIFF; if a player runs
into a chunk with an unknown FCC it's expected to simply ignore it.

The only rule for the chunk sequencing in RIFF waveforms is that the fmt
chunk occur before the data chunk.
