Side by side for easy comparison: File : t1w64.w64 t2wav.wav Length : 3840136 1920044 riff : 3840136 1920036 wave fmt : 40 16 Format : 0x3 => WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT 0x1 => WAVE_FORMAT_PCM Channels : 2 2 Sample Rate : 48000 48000 Block Align : 8 4 Bit Width : 32 16 Bytes/sec : 384000 192000 fact : 32 frames : 480000 data : 3840024 End ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Sample Rate : 48000 48000 Frames : 480000 480000 Channels : 2 2 Format : 0x000B0006 0x00010002 Sections : 1 1 Seekable : TRUE TRUE Duration : 00:00:10.000 00:00:10.000 Signal Max : 0.584686 (-4.66 dB) 32767 (-0.00 dB) That last 'Signal Max' comparison does seem to confirm that normalisation has occurred. -- Thanks again, John. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
