About the VOC format
VOC is the Creative Sound Blaster format — if a DOS game made a sound between 1989 and 1994, it was probably a VOC: 8-bit samples at exotic sample rates, with loop points, silence blocks and hardware-specific appendices that made each card sing differently.
ffmpeg decodes the standard sample blocks and converts VOC to WAV or MP3 — the cheapest time machine for retro-game audio.

About the WAVPCM format
WAV is the simplest possible audio file: PCM samples — the raw digits of the waveform — inside a RIFF container. CD-quality stereo (44.1 kHz, 16-bit) runs about 10 MB per minute, and studio work uses 24-bit/48–96 kHz without blinking. Every DAW, every interface and every phone records to it; nothing about it can be misinterpreted.
That perfection is why WAV remains the format of recording and editing: every sample is bit-exact, so processing, slicing and mixing never fight artifacts. And it is why nobody streams it — ten megabytes a minute is storage money, not delivery.
+Strengths
- ✓Bit-perfect, zero-loss audio
- ✓The editing and recording standard
- ✓Supports hi-res depths and sample rates
!Limitations
- −Enormous files (~10 MB/minute at CD quality)
- −Tagging is an afterthought (BWF fills the gap)
- −Impractical for streaming or phones-on-the-go libraries
