I think that's not the problem, because Gnuplot does not expect a exact format, it renders whatever it gets. The thing is, a usual waveform gets positive and negative values all the time. Sometimes that's what some DSP algorithms use to measure frequency, but given the stream has this weird representation, they do not work. That's what bugged me in first place, so I used gnuplot to visually check the waveform. Isn't is supposed to be a PCM waveform? 2010/6/15 David Henningsson <launchpad.web at epost.diwic.se>: > On 2010-06-15 20:19, Jos?
