OSS Programming, and I'm attempting to play some 8bit wav files.
However OSS is telling me that my sound card will not play 8bit , only 16bit.
If I force it. The sound changes pitch, and is very fast. ( obviously ).
Bit-depth has nothing to do with pitch. If it sounds fast, it is because
the file is at a lower sample rate.
Not neccesarily, when you pack two adjacent 8bit samples into a 16bit
sample you will get something that resembles the oroginal but distorted
and at twice the pitch.
