Description:

Abstract helper class to read RIFF files. See concrete subclasses for details.
RIFF is the abstract base-format used for a whole bunch of concrete file formats:
    WAV, AVI, AIF etc.
Concrete formats must be parsed by concrete readers.

Use:
    define your own concrete reader, with methods getChunk_FOO:,
    for each chunk type FOO you want to parse there.
    Define your reader as a client to this reader, and let it processChunks.
    See AVIReader for a concrete example.

This is in an experimental state and not yet finished.
The protocol may change.
