Shrek the Third/Superslam *Sound.dat/hdr (Multiplatform)

[JackTheRipper]

This format was seen in SEGA Soccer Slam, some Black Box devs made an unusual format.
Speaking of Soccer Slam, it is packed in DATA.BIN/DIR on PS2
Microsoft Xbox is XboxSound.dat/hdr, it uses RIFF IMA (0x69)
Microsoft Xbox 360 is XenonSound.dat/hdr, it uses RIFF XMA
Nintendo GameCube is GCSound.dat/hdr, it uses GCub header
Nintendo Wii is WiiSound.dat/hdr, it is the same as Gamecube
Sony PlayStation 2 is PS2Sound.dat/hdr, it uses VAG
Windows is PCSound.dat/hdr, it uses OGG vorbis

WiiSound.dat
WiiSound.hdr

Shrek 3 uses 0x1 subinterleave, sample rate is at 0x8 32-bit BE, channels is at 0x4 32-bit BE, datasize is at 0xc 32-bit BE, possible left coef is at 0x10, possible right coef is at 0x30, data start at 0x60.

Well, the hdr file doesn't contain any useful information as everything needed is already in the .dat archive. There's no TOC, so I wrote a scanner that automatically gets the file names in the process. The thing is that the output format isn't recognized correctly by vgmstream so maybe an update is in order there. I don't have any stereo .dsp files at hand otherwise I'd write a converter.
Anyway, here's the script for extraction. All files with the same name are byte-identical duplicates, I checked beforehand. The script first runs through the whole file to create a TOC so it will first look as if nothing is happening.
