			In the Xbox version, the wave banks and sound banks are in their original binary format (XWB and [https://wiki.xoreos.org/index.php?title=Binary_XACT_SoundBank XSB]). In the Windows PC version, they are stored in an ASCII format, as described below.

			== Audio ==
			Audio files and properties are described via text files that describe
			XACT wave banks and sound banks.

			Wave bank are simple lists of sound files that are referenced by their position in the list.

			Sound banks describe sounds and sound cues. Sounds contain references to wave bank entries as well as their play properties, while sound cues
			are used to group different sounds together with information about how to choose between them when playing a sound cue.

			'''Sound bank files are organized like this:'''

			<Sound bank name>
			<Number of Categories>
			<Categories, one per line>
			<Number of sounds>
			<Sounds, variable amount of lines per sound>
			<Number of sound cues>
			<Sound cues, variable amount of lines per sound cue>

			'''Each sound looks like this:'''

			<Sound description line>
			<Play properties, at most one of each of the following lines: 3D AEG LOOP LPF MARKER MFLFO PEQ PITCH PLAY VOLUME>
			<Number of wave bank entries>
			<One line per Wave bank entry>

			'''Each sound cue looks like this:'''

			<Sound cue description>
			<Number of sound entries>
			<One line per sound entry>

			'''for music sound cues also these lines:'''

			<Number of transition lines = number sound entries * (number sound entries + 1)>
			<transition lines describe the transition between 2 sounds in the same cue since only one sound will play (except for some overlap between sounds)>
