Hi,
I have a question with regard to joint stereo mode in SBC. According to
the A2DP spec. p. 53, sec. 12.4 "Syntax" in the frame_header there is
one bit RFA after the join[sb] bits. In the example implementations of
the SBC codec I got (one from TI, one from iAnywhere AV SDK, one from
the ALSA-Bluetooth project), this bit is however never accounted for.
Also in the sbc_test_14.sbc example you can download from bluetooth.org,
I find at offset 04FB the beginning of the frame as 9C7F797BBC87, where
the first bit of "87" should be this RFA bit (as this example uses 8
subbands). P. 11, sec. 1.3.2.1 "RFA" however says, RFA bits should be
set to zero, which is not the case for "87".
So is this RFA bit actually used or not?
Ciao
Siegbert

yes this is the right place.
I haven't worked on it in a while so your question doesn't ring a
bell... I do need to get back into it to re-roll the encoder and
eliminate the inner loop memory move.

Oh, my blindness. Thanks a *lot* for the hint, maybe I didn't read it =

Yep, now it makes sense.

Hi,
page 53 says join[sb] is nrof_subbands-1 bits wide =3D> wich is 7 bits. =
The 8th bit is the RFA which is 0.
0xBC =3D 10111100, The first 7 bits are the join table, the last bit is =
the rfa.
Then 87 is already the scale factors.
