[pulseaudio-discuss] Weird data flow (not waveform)

[José Tomás Tocino García]

I finally got it. Looks like, when I was parsing and/or dumping the
stream to a file, the stream operator << does not natively accept the
types defined in stdint like int16_t. Once I placed a cast (int) it
worked flawlessly :)
