My version of MMREG.H (which I attached earlier) does not define the
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure, but it seems like an even newer
extension to handle samples with more then two channels.  Note that
a WAVEFORMAT is a subset of WAVEFORMATEX, and WAVEFORMATEX
is a subset of WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE, indicating they they maintained 
backward compatibility. 

I guess it would be up to others to determine whether to support polyphonic
WAV files, I think Vorbis supports more then two channels, but I'm not sure.

Also thanks to Vitaly for sending that RIFFNEW.doc document.
