About formats

OGA is the audio-only file extension within the Ogg container framework maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. While .ogg traditionally served as a catch-all extension for any Ogg-encapsulated stream, the introduction of .oga in 2007 brought clarity by explicitly signaling that a file contains only audio data. Under the hood, OGA files can carry audio encoded with Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, or Opus — the container is codec-agnostic, serving as a transport wrapper with support for chained logical bitstreams and granule-based seeking. One benefit of OGA is interoperability: applications that encounter the .oga extension can optimize for audio-only playback without probing for video tracks, resulting in faster load times and lower memory usage. Because the Ogg container and its associated codecs are entirely open-source and royalty-free, OGA avoids the patent licensing complexities that affect proprietary formats. The format supports Vorbis comment metadata for tagging artist, album, and track information in a standardized way. OGA plays natively in Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, VLC, and most Linux desktop environments, making it a practical choice for web audio distribution and archival workflows.
Initial release: 2007
PAF (Paris Audio File) is the native audio format of the Ensoniq PARIS (Professional Audio Recording Integrated System) digital audio workstation, developed by Ensoniq in the late 1990s. PARIS was a hardware/software DAW that earned a loyal following among recording engineers for its warm analog-like sound and reliable operation, with PAF serving as its primary working file container. The format stores uncompressed PCM audio at 16-bit or 24-bit resolution and standard professional sample rates (44.1, 48, and 96 kHz), preserving full fidelity without lossy compression. PAF uses a straightforward binary layout — a compact header followed by interleaved sample data — enabling efficient real-time read and write during recording sessions. One notable advantage is support for both big-endian and little-endian byte ordering, reflecting the PARIS system's cross-platform roots on Mac and PC. After Ensoniq's acquisition by E-mu Systems and then Creative Technology, the PARIS DAW was discontinued, but PAF files remain important for studios with archived projects in this format. Tools like SoX and libsndfile can read and convert PAF files, ensuring long-term accessibility.
