FA-49376 / PCM sample encoding / Open access
Pcm channel reconstruction: reset seeds · case 01
Frame reset initializes digital zero instead of packet channel seeds.
ROOT CAUSE
Frame reset initializes digital zero instead of packet channel seeds.
VERIFIED REPAIR
Use the stated conversion contract at reset seeds.
Unsuccessful approach: Reversing seed order corrupts channel-specific DC values.
Case contract
Decode channel-banked residual PCM, resetting predictors only at specified frame boundaries and exporting final per-channel amplitudes.
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.
