<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>for a test, I am storing sounds into a ByteArray and read them again. This works well for PluckedSounds, for example, but I found some strange behavior when doing the same with SampledSounds:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<p></p>
<div>sound := SampledSound new</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>setSamples: SampledSound coffeeCupClink</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>samplingRate: 12000.</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div><br>
</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div>bytes := ByteArray streamContents: [:stream |</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div><span style="white-space:pre"></span>sound storeWAVSamplesOn: stream].</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div><br>
</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<div>outputSound := SampledSound fromWaveStream: bytes readStream binary.</div>
<p></p>
</blockquote>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>After running this script, I would expect <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
outputSound</span> to have the same samples as sound. But actually, every byte in the SoundBuffer appears twice! Still, playing the sound does not sound differently in my ears. I traced the issue down and found out that #<span>mixSampleCount:into:startingAt:leftVol:rightVol:
is writing every byte four times on the stream - two would be okay for left and right channel, but I do not understand the four. I reproduced the issue both on Windows and Ubuntu (WSL). Disabling the primitive did not help either.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>So I am wondering: Is this a bug or totally fine (because you cannot hear a difference anyway)? If the latter is the case, how can I compare the sounds else in a reliable way? If I </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">store
outputSound again, the number of bytes is doubled again, so if you do certain operations, your image will blow up exponentially ...</span></p>
