It's just one longword, giving the preferred channel(s) to play on. 2 = left speaker (amiga channels 0,3) 4 = right " ( " " 1,2) 6 = stereo If stereo, the BODY chunk contains two identically-sized samples.... the first half of the data is for the left, the second half is right. Watch out for mistakes: I ran across an IFF last night that had a "6", but it was really only mono data. - kevin
