Removing the header would mean that you just have a raw stream of whatever was in the file (e.g. PCM, u-Law, A-Law, ADPCM data). Hence it is somewhat nonsensical to talk about a AU file with no headers - it is just a raw data file then. --<a href="/wiki/User:Ozhiker" title="User:Ozhiker">Ozhiker</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Au_file_format#c-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z-WhatLasts-2006-09-20T16:43:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z-WhatLasts-2006-09-20T16:43:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z","author":"Ozhiker","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z-WhatLasts-2006-09-20T16:43:00.000Z","replies":["c-24.110.145.202-2007-10-14T20:19:00.000Z-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z-WhatLasts-2006-09-20T16:43:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-24.110.145.202-2007-10-14T20:19:00.000Z-Ozhiker-2007-02-13T09:11:00.000Z"></span>Nope. Old-style *.au files have no header. They are 8-bit mono µ-law sampled at 8000 Hz. (the NeXT used them too, as did others, often with a slightly faster sample rate in the 8000 to 8192 range) They can be send directly to /dev/audio. When interpreted as a new-style *.au file, you may hear a bit of noise at the beginning since the header gets played as audio. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:24.110.145.202&action=edit&redlink=1"

Upon some investigation it seems as if the length <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/AU/AU.html">has been adjusted</a> to be 28 Bytes. However this article list a minimum length of 32 bytes if optional text information is present which conflicts with the supposedly 4 minimum bytes of the document I've referred to.
