I looked at all the marketing and didn't see any reference to BWF. It would be nice to place clips to their 'original' time at a minimum (vegas does this) and would be very helpful to be able to add and edit this info in an existing file.

There is no timeline to place a clip on in Sound Forge. The file is the file. Do you just want the right amount of silence inserted when you open the file? Assemble a multi-channel file from mono or stereo .bwfs? Something else?

Anyway, if you open a .wav with a bext chunk, edit it, and save it, the chunk will be persisted (as will any other "unrecognized" metadata, including iXML, levl, etc.).

We are considering exposing at least the bext chunk contents for editing in an update.

metadata editing would be very nice.
I took "multichannel audio recording" to mean a multitrack environment like VEGAS or ACID but in re-reading that's not the case.

Certainly any kind of BWF flexibility would be a welcome addition to SF.
I don't understand SMS's thinking (or lack there of) on this issuse, including the lack of export in Vegas. (BFW has become a standard, especially in cross-platform cross-application file transfer for picture.
I won't even bring up the lack of OMF support in Vegas.
