[Libav-user] ffmpeg audio data for ploting wave form

[Patrick Cusack]

This doesn’t direct;y answer your question, but look through the source code at this link:

http://www.gamedev.net/topic/624876-how-to-read-an-audio-file-with-ffmpeg-in-c/

This code will take you through parsing an audiostream. A couple of calls are deprecated but you can replace them easily enough.

I am able to decode the audio data successfully, but no idea how the data is stored in `AVFrame` `extended_data` pointer. The audio can be either stereo or mono.
