Stores audio data loaded from WAV files.
AudioStreamWAV stores sound samples loaded from WAV files. To play the stored sound, use an [AudioStreamPlayer] (for non-positional audio) or [AudioStreamPlayer2D]/[AudioStreamPlayer3D] (for positional audio). The sound can be looped.
This class can also be used to store dynamically-generated PCM audio data. See also [AudioStreamGenerator] for procedural audio generation.

Saves the AudioStreamWAV as a WAV file to [param path]. Samples with IMA ADPCM or QOA formats can't be saved.
[b]Note:[/b] A [code].wav[/code] extension is automatically appended to [param path] if it is missing.
Contains the audio data in bytes.
[b]Note:[/b] This property expects signed PCM8 data. To convert unsigned PCM8 to signed PCM8, subtract 128 from each byte.
Audio format. See [enum Format] constants for values.
The loop start point (in number of samples, relative to the beginning of the sample). This information will be imported automatically from the WAV file if present.
The loop end point (in number of samples, relative to the beginning of the sample). This information will be imported automatically from the WAV file if present.
The loop mode. This information will be imported automatically from the WAV file if present. See [enum LoopMode] constants for values.
The sample rate for mixing this audio. Higher values require more storage space, but result in better quality.
In games, common sample rates in use are [code]11025[/code], [code]16000[/code], [code]22050[/code], [code]32000[/code], [code]44100[/code], and [code]48000[/code].
According to the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem]Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem[/url], there is no quality difference to human hearing when going past 40,000 Hz (since most humans can only hear up to ~20,000 Hz, often less). If you are using lower-pitched sounds such as voices, lower sample rates such as [code]32000[/code] or [code]22050[/code] may be usable with no loss in quality.
If [code]true[/code], audio is stereo.
8-bit audio codec.

Audio is compressed using IMA ADPCM.
Audio is compressed as QOA ([url=https://qoaformat.org/]Quite OK Audio[/url]).
Audio does not loop.
Audio loops the data between [member loop_begin] and [member loop_end], playing forward only.
Audio loops the data between [member loop_begin] and [member loop_end], playing back and forth.
Audio loops the data between [member loop_begin] and [member loop_end], playing backward only.
