ao_sample_format

declared in "ao/ao.h";

This structure describes the format of audio samples.

typedef struct { int bits; /* bits per sample */ int rate; /* samples per second (in a single channel) */ int channels; /* number of audio channels */ int byte_format; /* Byte ordering in sample, see constants below */ } ao_sample_format;

Relevant Struct Members

byte_format

Specifies the ordering of the sample bytes. The value of this member is ignored when samples have only 8 bits. Use the following constants:

• AO_FMT_LITTLE - Samples are in little-endian order.
• AO_FMT_BIG - Samples are in big-endian order.
• AO_FMT_NATIVE - Samples are in the native ordering of the computer.
