Hi,
         I read the bwav.wav with Audition 1.5. The "sound" part of the
file plays as expected. The text contents can be seen clicking on "View",
"Wave properties" and then on the "EBU Extensions" tab.

           In Samplitude 7.0 the file plays ok. The text contents can be
seen clicking on "Options", "Project Properties" and then on "Broadcast
Wave Manager"

         In Wavelab 5 the file plays ok. The text contents can be seen
clicking on "Edit", "File Attributes" and then on the "Broadcast Audio
Extension" tab.

         If I try to open the file with my own software I get an error
message!
If someone could give me advice on the data structure I'll try to
incorporate the feature in my software.

Gianni
