[Stk] Rawwave files... what are they?

Hello -
I'm new to STK, and sound generation in general, and as I read through the
demo's, examples & documentation, I realize that Rawwave files are used a
lot, but I don't really know that their purpose is.
I do know that they are sound files with the header information stripped
out, so they are just raw standardized sound files, but I don't understand
why I'd want to use them.
How do I create them, how long should they be in duration, do they mix with
the instruments ???
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a general concept in music/sound
mixing/recording and if so, a pointer in the right direction will suffice.
For me, I'm looking at creating some very specific wave patterns,
isochronic tones, and meditative music.... would I need a rawwave file just
to create a sine wave?
I hope my questions are clear enough to at least point me in a direction.
Thanks
Matt
