What is AU?
The Au file format is a simple audio file format introduced by Sun Microsystems.
The format was common on NeXT systems and on early web pages. Originally it was
headerless, being simply 8-bit 0…8-law-encoded data at an 8000 Hz sample
rate. Hardware from other vendors often used sample rates as high as 8192 Hz,
often integer factors of video clock signals. Newer files have a header that consists
of six 32-bit words, an optional information chunk and then the data (in big endian
format). Although the format now supports many audio encoding formats, it remains
associated with the 0…8-law logarithmic encoding. This encoding was
native to the SPARCstation 1 hardware, where SunOS exposed the encoding to apps
through the /dev/audio interface. This encoding and interface became a de facto
standard for Unix sound.
What is OGG?
Ogg Vorbis (sometimes just called Vorbis) is an open source patent-free audio
compression format, developed as a replacement for proprietary digital audio encoding
formats, such as MP3, VQF, and AAC. Vorbis files (which have an .ogg extension)
compress to a smaller size than MP3 files, which reduces bandwidth and storage
requirements. According to many reports, Vorbis provides better sound quality
than MP3.
