sending/receiving audio signals from/to text files?

For debugging purposes, is that a standard way to send/receive audio signals from/to text files?

Basically I would have test signals as samples values in text files, would like to process them in a Max patch, and get the patch audio outputs to save them as text files.

capture~ seems the most straight forward - at least it doesnt have ugly size limits like coll or textedit.

however with buffer~ and peek~ it can be easier to read out stuff sampleexact.
