Each format has different advantages:
- WAV files use raw data or light compression (IMA-ADPCM). They are lightweight
on the CPU to play back (hundreds of simultaneous voices in this format are
fine). The downside is that they take up a lot of disk space.

- Ogg Vorbis files use a stronger compression that results in much
smaller file size, but require significantly more processing power to
play back.

than Ogg Vorbis. This means that an MP3 file with roughly equal quality to
Ogg Vorbis will be significantly larger. On the bright side, MP3 requires
less CPU usage to play back compared to Ogg Vorbis.

Two compression modes can be chosen for WAV files: **Disabled** (default) or
**RAM (Ima-ADPCM)**. **RAM (Ima-ADPCM)** reduces file size and memory usage a
little, at the cost of decreasing quality in an audible manner.
Three compression modes can be chosen from for WAV files: **Disabled** (default),
**RAM (Ima-ADPCM)**, or **QOA (Quite OK Audio)**. **RAM (Ima-ADPCM)** reduces
file size and memory usage a little, at the cost of decreasing quality in an
audible manner. **QOA (Quite OK Audio)** reduces file size a bit more than
**RAM (Ima-ADPCM)** and the quality decrease is much less noticeable, at the
cost of higher CPU usage (still much lower than MP3).
Ogg Vorbis and MP3 don't decrease quality as much and can provide greater file
size reductions, at the cost of higher CPU usage during playback. This higher
