Sure, but the 'bext' chunk implemented in the Avisoft-RECORDER software doe=
s not claim to excactly comply with the BWF standard. It should be consider=
ed just as an additional 'nice to have' feature because it is not essential=
 for its primary use.

The analysis software (Avisoft-SASLab Pro) that is recommended for processi=
ng these files does not use the bext chunk at all (it instead uses the othe=
r application-specific RIFF chunks 'TIME' and 'GPS).
