Show markers on WAV music files #234

So what's the deal. For example, you have some song, and you want to make cool camera scene. And, today it's kinda to get into it, since when you playback in Aperture, it playback with some audio offset/delay (relatively to timeline with WAV file). I know it's possible, it's been made in many of editing software.

In my case, i use audition to process audio. Once i'm done, i'm exporting it as a WAV file (markers are saved in it), and in some editing program like davinci resolve i can see these markers

It's cool that you know that it's possible, but do you also know how it's done? If I remember correctly, wav file format specification does not document a marker data chunk, so if it's not in the official documentation and I can't find anything about how editing software did it, I won't do it. Also if it's specific to editing software, there is a chance that every software company does their own encoding of that data e.g. Adobe and other software markers won't be compatible and I am not willing to implement island solutions for every possible encoding
