Subject: Re: two patches: proper WAV file handling + APEv2&id3v1 tags for everyone

Re: two patches: proper WAV file handling + APEv2&id3v1 tags for everyone

Hi,

did you test the WAV handling for 8 bit files?
http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/wave.htm (I came across this while
looking for how to write my own wave files)
This page has an interesting story of wave-files and how they came into
existence.
Quote: "Furthermore, there are lots of inconsistencies, for example how
8-bit data is unsigned, but 16-bit data is signed."
If you do have covered this (I read through your patch, but could not find
it - could be my coding skills), or if the dsp chip has covered this,
then.. ah well, the wave file story is still interesting. :-)

Ronald
