The broadcast wave file is basically a standard wave file with
additional
information in the header. Any software that can read a standard wave
file
can read it, although it may not necessarily preserve the additional
header
information (which contains stuff like the title, for instance). The
whole
purpose of the broadcast wave format was compatibility with the older
software.

Hmmm. I downloaded a sample bwf from the net and it had a .wav
extension.
Sound Forge would not open it, but Windows Media Player played it.

Was it 24-bit or of a higher sample rate than SF could handle?

No it turned out to be an MPEG1 file. Further browsing educated me to the
fact that there are linear versions.

Thanks,
