I don't know any better term for the set of values generated at a sample point than "(pcm) frame". Of course, we could call the set of values generated at a sampling point a "samples", and the per-channel sample something else, but I don't have any good ideas what the name could be for the per-channel sample. Maybe "pcm frame" isn't entirely correct terminology in this case, but isn't it still obviously clear what pcm_frames_per_mpeg_frame means? The frame is anyway decoded into pcm data at some point... -- Tanu
