Discussion:

Trivia time: Although the file in its current form was introduced on 2004-07-11 by Scott Wilson via commit bc9a4d4fd8cdccd2b1c787010c776176c7993d2c, its original version as a 11025 Hz mono file dates back to at least 2002-09-28 via the commit f30d769ab6b8eb1f36027ed3a400efd3b829f43a by James McCartney.

This can be considered the "Hello world" audio sample of SuperCollider.
