\description{Class \dQuote{Wave}.}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("Wave", ...)},
or more conveniently using the function \code{\link{Wave}}.
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{left}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} representing the left channel.}
    \item{\code{right}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} representing the right channel,
        \code{NULL} if mono.}
    \item{\code{stereo}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"} indicating whether this
        is a stereo (two channels) or mono representation.}
    \item{\code{samp.rate}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"} - the sampling rate, e.g. 44100 for CD quality.}
    \item{\code{bit}:}{Object of class \code{"numeric"}, common is 16 for CD quality, or
        8 for a rather rough representation.}
    \item{\code{pcm}:}{Object of class \code{"logical"} indicating whether this is a 
        PCM or IEEE_FLOAT Wave format.}
