Solved ASD Archive Format

[AntumDeluge]

I received a PCM audio file with the extension .wav.asd. I have looked up the extension .asd and it appears to be known as an ASD Archiver compressed archive. Apparently the archiver is available for Windows and Linux, though I have not found it yet. I'm looking for a way to extract the contents of this archive on FreeBSD. Is anyone familiar with a way to do this?

Why wouldn't it be this? Sounds more logical for a WAV. Try it with VLC or mplayer. Or see what file(1) makes of its format.

$ file Downloads/sound1.wav.asd
Downloads/sound1.wav.asd: data

Neither mplayer nor vlc can play it.

--- Edit ---

I'll try opening it with a hex editor.

According to http://files.avanquest.com/file-extension-asd there are a few possibilities

For some reason the forum won't let me upload an attachment, but here are a number of lines of the ASD file shown in a hex editor. Not sure if this will help at all in determining the file type:

I think I've figured out what the file type is: https://www.ableton.com/en/articles/filetypes-used-by-ableton/

According to that page it is a file format specific to the Ableton program, probably proprietary. It's called a warp analysis file. Has nothing to do with archiving. I don't believe there is any way to open it on FreeBSD.
