[PD] WAV format

[vanDongen/Gilcher]

A hexdump would be a way to see the actual bytes, but I think you would want 
to see sample frame values. That would mean reading the header of the WAV 
file and based on the number of channels and the sample type printing a 
listing of human readable decimal numbers. 
One way to do this in pd, is to write the sound to a table with soundfiler I 
think, and then reading the table and printing it out to the console or 
putting it in a textfile object and saving that.  The table has to be big 
enough, but if you really want to see the sample values, you are probably not 
dealing with minutes of sound.
