Comment (by heleppkes):

 I don't know where 16 bytes comes from, the two relevant structures are
 WAVEFORMAT and WAVEFORMATEX.

 WAVEFORMAT is 14 bytes, WAVEFORMATEX is 18.

 Maybe PCMWAVEFORMAT which is a cross between the two, measuring 16 bytes?
 Its rather unusual though.
 To write compliant files it should write a WAVEFORMATEX block with 18
 bytes, imho.

 [2] WAVEFORMATEX: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

 [3] PCMWAVEFORMAT: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
