The decoded audio data format can be checked in AVFrame.format, and
also AVCodecContext.sample_fmt. For audio, check it with enum
AVSampleFormat. Sample rate is in AVCodecContext.sample_rate.

The most widely used is AV_SAMPLE_FMT_S16, which stands for signed
16bit samples. So the answer is practically yes.
