FA-50106 / PCM sample encoding / Open access

Pcm seeded adaptive block: declared includes seed · case 01

Declared block sample count is interpreted as excluding its seed.

ROOT CAUSE

Declared block sample count is interpreted as excluding its seed.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Use the stated conversion contract at declared includes seed.

Unsuccessful approach: Subtracting seed twice drops valid block samples.

Case contract

Decode independent seeded differential PCM blocks; seed is the first presented sample and declared sample count includes it, excluding padded residuals.

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.
