What OS APIs? There is no "OS API" as such for a WAV file, as they are
cross-platform.
As usual, your pointless posts are just there to obfuscate, cause
confusion and irritation, and are designed you make you look superior.
Your smug attitude doesn't wash with me.

Pot, kettle, black. You work it out. You're probably one of the most rude,
arrogant, patronising, superior, smug, know-it-all people I've ever come
across. You wanna dish it out, but you don't wanna take it.
I despise people like you.
