After wondering about the compression procedure of the audio DSP, I got to thinking "Eh ?". If each block of 8 bits of data is expanded to 10 bits by left shifting and 0 padding, then are the functions of the Estimate and Syllabic Integrators to sense trends in the waveform and replace the LSB "00" bits with fill-in values ? It's the only way I can see to get 10-bit quality sound from 8 bits of data. 8 bit audio does not sound very nice at 16kHz (which is originally sampled at 64kHz), and the DSP's output is definitely OK -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
