[gst-devel] Can't find documentation

[Ali Hamdi]

Ok, I see. About the question, I tried using decodebin2 to decode an mp3-file, and then I had typefind-element right after decodebin2 and printed what type the element found. The type found (without any filter) was a 32-bit depth and width raw-int. Thats why I wanted to be able to parse this format. However, I tried using audioconvert and a caps filter like you wrote, and it worked perfectly. So thanks again for all your help. :)

The reason I'm asking is that they seem to be split in some way judging by the results, and by this reference (which is referring to 24-bit pcm though): http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=PCM

Its always complete samples. There can be the case width=32, depth=24,
where the samples would be stores as 32 bit, but only 24 bits are real
data. This is quite common for 24bit pcm audio as without padding its
cumbersome to address samples.

I don't understand the question.

I want to be able to extract data to external software to analyze, meaning I want to be able to parse a binary file to proper waveforms, which is why I need to know how to put the bytes together again to proper quantization samples. Been doing some trial and error, with no luck so far..
