Field Description
CATC Data
SampleRate
Little
24
4
The number of sample 
slices per second. This 
value is unaffected by the 
number of channels: 
8000, 44100, etc.
Sample Rate as 
selected by the 
user: 8K or 64K
ByteRate
Little
28
4
This value indicates how 
many bytes of wave data 
must be streamed to a 
D/A converter per second 
in order to play the wave 
file. This information is 
useful when determining 
if data can be streamed 
from the source fast 
enough to keep up with 
playback. This value can 
be easily calculated with 
the formula:
SamplesPerSec 
*.BlockAlign
BlockAlign
Little
32
2
The number of bytes for 
one sample including all 
channels.
Channels * 
(BitsPerSample / 
8 )
BitPerSample
Little
34
2
This value specifies the 
number of bits used to 
define each sample. This 
value is usually 8, 16, 24 
or 32. 
16
ExtraParamSize
Little
36
2
This value specifies how 
many additional format 
bytes follow. It does not 
exist if the compression 
code is 0 (uncompressed 
PCM file) but may exist 
and have any value for 
other compression types 
depending on what 
compression information 
is need to decode the 
wave data. If this value is 
not word aligned (a 
multiple of 2), padding 
should be added to the 
end of this data to word 
align it, but the value 
should remain 
non-aligned.
