The WAV audio recording applet SDK is designed to create the web audio recorder on the web site. It allows to record the audio in WAV format from the web site and upload audio file to the web server via HTTP. Also, it is possible to save recorded audio file on the client computer and open it from there. To playback the recorded audio from the server the recording applet works in streaming mode.
