If this alignment requirement is not met samples might + be dropped from the buffer. + + This property reports the alignment requirements in bytes. + This means that the buffer size in bytes needs to be a integer + multiple of the number reported by this file. + + The alignment requirements in number of sample sets will depend + on the enabled channels and the bytes per channel. This means + that the alignment requirement in samples sets might change + depending on which and how many channels are enabled. Whereas + the alignment requirement reported in bytes by this property + will remain static and does not depend on which channels are + enabled. |
