[Libav-user] FFMPEG Audio draw waveform

I am trying to decode the audio and draw the waveform using ffmpeg,  and
the input audio data is `AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16P`, basically I am following the
tutorial [here][
https://0xdeafc0de.wordpress.com/2013/12/19/ffmpeg-audio-playback-sample/],
and the audio is playing fine with [libao][
https://xiph.org/ao/doc/overview.html]. Now I need to plot the waveform
using decoded data, currently I am writing left and right channel to
separate csv file and plotting on excel. But the waveform is something
different from the waveform shown in Audacity using the same audio clip.
When I analyzed the value written on csv most of the values are close to
maximum of `uint16_t `(65535), but there are some other lower values, but
majority is high peak.


Here is the source code,



        const char* input_filename="/home/user/Music/Clip.mp3";
        av_register_all();
        AVFormatContext* container=avformat_alloc_context();
        if(avformat_open_input(&container,input_filename,NULL,NULL)<0){
            endApp("Could not open file");
        }

        if(avformat_find_stream_info(container, NULL)<0){
            endApp("Could not find file info");
        }

        av_dump_format(container,0,input_filename,false);

        int stream_id=-1;
        int i;
        for(i=0;i<container->nb_streams;i++){

if(container->streams[i]->codec->codec_type==AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO){
                stream_id=i;
                break;
            }
        }
        if(stream_id==-1){
            endApp("Could not find Audio Stream");
        }

        AVDictionary *metadata=container->metadata;

        AVCodecContext *ctx=container->streams[stream_id]->codec;
        AVCodec *codec=avcodec_find_decoder(ctx->codec_id);

        if(codec==NULL){
            endApp("cannot find codec!");
        }

        if(avcodec_open2(ctx,codec,NULL)<0){
            endApp("Codec cannot be found");
        }



        AVPacket packet;
        av_init_packet(&packet);

        //AVFrame *frame=avcodec_alloc_frame();
        AVFrame *frame=av_frame_alloc();

        // MSVC can't do variable size allocations on stack, ohgodwhy
        uint8_t *buffer = new uint8_t[buffer_size];
        packet.data=buffer;
        packet.size =buffer_size;

        {

            if(packet.stream_index==stream_id){
                int
len=avcodec_decode_audio4(ctx,frame,&frameFinished,&packet);
                int data_size = av_samples_get_buffer_size(&plane_size,

                    // QTime t;
                    switch (sfmt){

                        case AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16P:

                            for (int
nb=0;nb<plane_size/sizeof(uint16_t);nb++){
                                for (int ch = 0; ch < ctx->channels; ch++) {
                                    if(ch==0)
