Might have been that it's quite likely that the headers will be the same
for similar encode parameters (sampling rate, channels, etc), so headers
can be cut off and kept separately only once, and each sound file can
be trimmed of its headers. Decoding a file would then involve feeding
the shared headers, followed by the headerless file.

Now, that might not be what you read about, but it's a possible way.
