hmm, even better:

 "audio/raw"
  "format", "float",
  "layout", "IEEE"
...


  "audio/raw"
   "format", "int",
   "signed", true,
   "endian", "little"
...

format is the subtype because it defines what other properties
are allowed next. Think of it as an hierarchy or a union with
a type to denote the contents...
