what you say makes only sense for PCM, for others it doesnt make sense
and they are what iam curious about ...

so with "48000, 1" you mean QT handles 1 single packet which when decoded
would produce 48000 samples as if the packet actually could be split into
48000 decodable pieces of duration 1?
now iam curious what byte sizes QT wants for these non existant 48000
samples?

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
