- Do you know specifically if DAWS read things other than the tempo, such as root note, time sig, loop points (as are found in the ACID format)?


To my knowledge Peter the most useful parameter is when you import a time stamped wave file is that it loads into the proper bar location and tempo. I suspect this format is most useful when several folks are working on the same song with different platforms and or DAWS.
Here is what my Sonar X3 manual says about how they use it.

Broadcast Wave files
Broadcast Wave files are wave files with some additional information stored in them. Broadcast
Wave files have the following information:
• Description. A brief description of the contents of the Broadcast wave. Limited to 256
characters.
• Originator. The author of the Broadcast wave. This information is taken from the Author field in
the “File Info dialog” on page 1736.
• Originator Reference. A unique reference identifier created by SONAR.
• Origination Date. The date the file was created.
• Origination Time. The time the file was created.
• Time Reference. The SMPTE time stamp for the beginning of broadcast wave.
