Saver : VOC
-----------

Description :
	saves SoundBlaster-VOC Samples
	incl.	Multi-Channelsamples
		8/16 bit Samples
	The VOC format was introduced by 'Creative Labs', creators of the
	Soundblaster-cards on the PC. It was created for easy playback from
	disks and hard disks or CDs giving it a host of advantages. However
	due to inconsequent planning it became nessecary to 'add' features
	which slow down handling of this format. Most programs aren't able to
	read but one (the 1.1 version) of the VOC format. SFX can read and
	write all known versions of this format.

Prefs :
	Bits   : should the sample be saved as an 8- or 16-bit sample.
	Type   : 1.20	Use blocktype 9 for soundheader.
		 1.15	Use blocktype 8 and 1 for soundheader.
		 1.10	Use blocktype 1 only for soundheader
		 In my experience most programs can't read the new VOC formats.
		 I therefore created the option to save the old format. Using
		 version 1.10 might be the safest. Please take these limita-
		 tions into account:
			V1.15 only 8-bit samples
			V1.10 only mono and 8-bit samples
