Many people can here the difference.
And I can understand Sock's wishes perfectly... I also want things as perfect as possible... (and that's why I'll create a
new thread with something related to soundfiles)
Anyways... saving to a normal wav doesn't compress the audio again. (Unless you use some special filters and stuff or decreases the bitrate and such of course). Saving the uncompressed audio stream is also useless. You wouldn't have anything to play it with. It needs to be recoded (but not nessecairly recompressed) into a new codec. So, if you keep the bitrates, samplerates, etc... and you save to wav, nothing is lost... as far I can tell...
