Linux and AudioClips

[Stephen Barncard]

AIFF file format was invented by apple but is used by all major audio 
softwares.
It works cross platform as it doesn't contain a resource fork, as SD2 files do.

Why on earth does UBUNTU need standard files saved at half speed? 
Major bug - and that means the top sampling rate would be half as 
well. Wouldn't sound as good.

Hasn't anyone followed up and fixed this in UBUNTU? Obviously sound 
isn't that important to those guys.
