FA-49116 / PCM sample encoding / Open access

Pcm byteplane restore: plane stride · case 01

Each byte plane reuses its first sample byte.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Each byte plane reuses its first sample byte.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the stated conversion contract at plane stride.

Unsuccessful approach: Reversing sample positions inside planes reverses waveform time.

Case contract

Reassemble signed integer PCM from per-byte-significance planes, preserving sample order and the declared number of octets per sample.

Why this case matters

Offline PCM interchange uses these exact bounded packet and sample representation decisions.

Verification & scope

Stipulated finite model; no claim of hardware timing or full file-format conformance. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
