I'm trying to convert some raw audio files I've created into standard .WAV format. 
I've been able to get the documentation to create the file, but I haven't been able
to test the file on a Soundblaster.  Someone sent me the Microsoft Speaker driver,
and it won't play my audio files.  My questions are:

	1) Is the speaker driver limited to certain sample rates?  My raw audio
	   was created by sampling at 24KHz.

	2) Does a soundblaster have limited sample rates? Can it play back a 24KHz
	   file?

	3) Can the drivers for the speaker and soundblaster handle 12-bit linear
	   PCM?  The sample files with Windows 3.1 all seem to be 8-bit PCM.

	4) What other limitations are there?

Thanks in advance.
