Subject: Definition of frame
Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:19:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4eccebac0810282319w15a5f81asbeee2c27fddcc534@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I want to clarify my understanding regarding the definition of frame
in Alsa lingo.

For a "stereo" DAC channel with 16-bit samples, number of bytes per
frame = 4 bytes, correct?
basically L & R samples each 16 bit, 16 * 2 = 32 bits = 4 bytes.

Reason being alsa-lib APIs use number of frames instead of bytes and I
want to make sure I compute right number of frames.

Thanks,
Bankim
