FA-49431 / PCM sample encoding / Open access

Pcm sparse impulses: duplicate event · case 01

Repeated sample events are summed rather than last-writer replaced.

ROOT CAUSE

Repeated sample events are summed rather than last-writer replaced.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the stated conversion contract at duplicate event.

Unsuccessful approach: First-writer semantics ignore corrected amplitude events.

Case contract

Reconstruct a sparse PCM packet into a fixed sample span using explicit silence, ignore out-of-range events and apply duplicate positions in arrival order.

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.
