Hello. I have been writing because I had a question about the wav format.
The general wav file format is as below.
So I understood that adding 8 to chunk size resulted in the total data size(include headers).
In the case of subchunk2 size, it is the real pcm data size excluding the headers(44bytes).
Eventually, there is a 36bytes difference between chunk size and subchunk2 size, is it right?
But I checked that some files were different from this result.
For example, there is a wav file with a size of 960bytes.
It's chunk size is 952(decimal) and subchunk2 size is 880(decimal).
Actually, as a result of my counting, there are 458 data(916 bytes).
(This wav file is 16bits, 44.1kHz, Mono format)
So, I think subchunk2 size is not right.
In the "Adobe Audition" program, this wav file displays only 440 data same as subchunk2 size.
Is there a reason to mark it like this?
