はじめに

Waveform Audio File Format(WAV)について説明します。
Pulse-code modulation(PCM) を保存できます。次のDocumentに定義されています。

Multimedia Programming Interface and Data Specifications [1]

Format

Header

header を C の struct で表記します。
FormType = "WAVE" の RIFFです。ID = "fmt " と "data" の chunkを持ちます。

struct wav_header {
  uint8_t ChunkID[4];        // "RIFF"
  uint32_t ChunkSize;        // 4 + (8 + SubChunkFmtSize(16)) + (8 + SubChunkDataSize)
  uint8_t FormType[4];       // "WAVE"
  uint8_t SubChunkFmtID[4];  // "fmt "
  uint32_t SubChunkFmtSize;  // 16
#define LPCM (1)
  uint16_t FormatTag;        // 1:LPCM
#define MONO   (1)
#define STEREO (2)
  uint16_t Channels;
#define RATE48KHZ (48000)
  uint32_t SamplesPerSec;
  uint32_t AvgBytesPerSec;   // SamplesPerSec * Channels * BitsPerSample / 8
  uint16_t BlockAlign;       // Channels * BitsPerSample / 8
#define BPS16BIT (16)
  uint16_t BitsPerSample;    // 16
  uint8_t SubChunkDataID[4]; // "data "
  uint32_t SubChunkDataSize; // NumSamples * Channels * BitsPerSample / 8
} __attribute__((packed));

Data

headerの後ろにPCMデータが続きます。Channel毎にSample数分連続して続きます。

Code example

sine の wav を生成する例を示します。mono / 48kHz です。

fsは始めの周波数です。feは終わりの周波数です。Aは振幅です。Nはデータ数です。
fs = feであれば単一のsineを生成します。 fs < feであれば周波数を変化させます。
