 sampled.  The number of channels indicate if the audio is mono, stereo, or
 quadro.  Each frame consists of one sample per channel.  The sample size is the
 size in bytes of each sample.  Thus a frame consists of

 For example, CD quality audio has a sample size of two bytes (16 bits), uses two
 channels (stereo) and has a frame rate of 44,100 frames/second.  This gives a
