| WaveFormat Class |
Describes the format of the waveform-audio data.
Inheritance HierarchyNamespace: Alvas.Audio
Assembly: Alvas.Audio (in Alvas.Audio.dll) Version: 2016.0.6173.41573
SyntaxThe WaveFormat type exposes the following members.
Constructors| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | WaveFormat | Initializes a new instance of the WaveFormat class |
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Equals | (Overrides ObjectEquals(Object).) |
| GetHashCode | (Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Fields| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | nAvgBytesPerSec |
Required average data transfer rate, in bytes per second. For example, 16-bit stereo at 44.1 kHz has an average data rate of 176,400 bytes per second (2 channels — 2 bytes per sample per channel — 44,100 samples per second).
|
| nBlockAlign |
Block alignment, in bytes. The block alignment is the minimum atomic unit of data. For PCM data, the block alignment is the number of bytes used by a single sample, including data for both channels if the data is stereo. For example, the block alignment for 16-bit stereo PCM is 4 bytes (2 channels — 2 bytes per sample).
|
| nChannels |
Number of channels in the waveform-audio data. Mono data uses one channel and stereo data uses two channels.
|
| nSamplesPerSec |
Sample rate, in samples per second.
|
| wBitsPerSample |
Bits per sample for the wFormatTag format type. If wFormatTag is PCM, then wBitsPerSample should be equal to 8 or 16. For non-PCM formats, this member must be set according to the manufacturer's specification of the format tag. Note that some compression schemes cannot define a value for wBitsPerSample, so this member can be zero.
|
| wFormatTag |
Format tag.
