          BITSPERSAMPLE integer

            The integer indicates the number of bits in a waveaudio sample (typically 8 or 16).
          SAMPLESPERSEC integer
            The integer indicates the number of samples per second the waveaudio will utilize.
          TAG type
            The type is a valid format tag which can be used with set (see the "SET object FORMAT TAG" command).
          CHANNELS integer

          USES FILES
            Returns TRUE. Wave audio devices use files for operation.
          WAIT
            The command is executed synchronously. The function waits until the requested action is complete before returning to the application. The WAIT keyword must be specified in order to receive return string information.
          NOTIFY
            The command is executed asynchronously, allowing control to be returned immediately to the application. When the requested action is complete an MM_MCINOTIFY message is sent to the application window procedure.
