Huh?  Audio/basic is what ISDN uses.  It has no headers at all.

>From RFC1521:
   The content of the "audio/basic" subtype is audio encoded using 8-bit
   ISDN mu-law [PCM].  When this subtype is present, a sample rate of
   8000 Hz and a single channel is assumed.

If this doesn't mean the format is "raw", please let me know where the 
headers are defined.  --Darren
