AFGETFRAMESIZE(3)AFGETFRAMESIZE(3)NAMEafGetFrameSize - calculate the frame size in bytes for an audio track
SYNOPSIS
#include <audiofile.h>
float afGetFrameSize (AFfilehandle file, int track, int expand3to4);
PARAMETERS
file is a valid AFfilehandle.
track is an integer which refers to a specific audio track in the file.
At present no supported audio file format allows for more than one
audio track within a file, so track should always be AF_DEFAULT_TRACK.
expand3to4 is a boolean-valued integer indicating whether frame size
calculation will treat 24-bit data as having a size of 3 bytes or 4
bytes.
DESCRIPTIONafGetFrameSize returns the number of bytes in a frame in a given audio
track.
A sample frame consists of one or more samples. For a monaural track, a
sample frame will always contain one sample. For a stereophonic track,
a sample frame will always contain two samples, one for the left
channel and one for the right channel.
A non-zero value of expand3to4 should be used when calculating the
frame size for storage in memory (since 24-bit audio data is presented
in memory as a 4-byte sign-extended integer), while a value of zero
should be used for calculating storage on disk where no padding is
added. The parameter expand3to4 is ignored unless the specified audio
track contains 24-bit audio data.
