Single-Channel PCM Audio File Reader

This program is designed for reading single-channel PCM audio files. It implements a buffered file reading mechanism with configurable chunk sizes, allowing for efficient memory management when processing large audio files. The core functionality utilizes file I/O operations to read raw PCM data and convert it into manageable audio samples. By slightly modifying parameters such as buffer size or adding processing hooks, the program can be adapted to handle larger audio files while performing real-time analysis. The implementation includes error handling for file access and data validation to ensure audio integrity. In practical applications, the author has integrated this module with various processing algorithms to conduct experiments involving segmented file reading followed by sequential processing. This approach enables efficient handling of large audio files while facilitating necessary analysis and manipulation operations through a modular architecture. Key features include: - Configurable sample rate and bit depth support - Buffer management for memory-efficient large file processing - Modular structure for easy integration with other audio processing routines - Error checking for file format validation and data consistency
