Some new format for DAW session files that is compatible with all DAWs. I believe ardour can import protools files but I bet a lot. Of work went into that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice, hadn't seen this before. From the looks of the Ardour forum there is nobody currently looking at implementing the forum but they seem open to it. I would contribute but I only know python so probably not much use. I could write a ardour-dawproject translator in python but seems a bit pointless if someone goes and creates a proper implementation at some point anyway
192 kHz for music.
The CD was the worst thing to happen in the history of audio. 44 (or 48) kHz is awful, and it is still prevalent. It would be better to wait a few more years and have better quality.
this is wrong. the first thing done before playing one of those files is running ithe audio through a low pass filter that removes any extra frequencies 192khz captures. because most speakers can't play them, and in fact would distort the rest of the sound (due to badly recreating them, resulting in aliasing).
192khz has a place, and it's called the recording studio. It's only useful when handling intermediate products in mixing and mastering. Once that is done, only the audible portion is needed. The inaudible stuff can either be removed beforehand, saving storage space, or distributed (as 192khz files) and your player will remove them for you before playback

Something for I/Q recordings. But I don't know what would do it. Currently the most supported format seems to be s16be WAV, but there's different formats, bit depths and encodings. I've seen .iq, .sdriq, .sdr, .raw, .wav. Then there's different bit depths and encodings: u8, s8, s16be, s16le, f32,... Also there's different ways metadata like center frequency is stored.
what is this
God damnit. I wrote an answer and it disappeared a while after pressing reply. I am lazy to rewrite it and my eyes are sore.
Anyway, I am too dumb to actually understand I/Q samples. It stands for In-Phase and Quadrature, they are 90° out of phase from each other. That's somehow used to reconstruct a signal. It's used in different areas. For me it's useful to record raw RF signals from software defined radio (SDR).
For example, with older, less secure systems, you could record signal from someone's car keyfob, then use a Tx-capable SDR to replay it later. Ta-da! Replay attack. You unlocked someone's car.
In a better way, you could record raw signal from a satellite to later demodulate and decode it, if your computer isn't powerful enough to do it in real-time.
If you want an example, you can download DAB+ radio signal recording here: https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/DAB%2B and then replay it in Welle.io (available as Appimage) if it's in compatible format. I haven't tested it.
OTDR measurement results in like XML or whatever open self documenting format, just not SOR. Or even just in actual standards compliant SOR, if that's all I can get.
