Sparc Station Audio

[Jake Reynolds]

Does anyone know if there is an easy way of converting u-law data
filesback into their uncompresed form without losing information content ?
One could simply reverse the u-law characteristic, but this would degrade
the data cf its original. Also, does anyone know when SUN is going to
bring out a new version of sound.c in which the sample rate, bits per
sample and type of compression are actually variable ? Thanks for replies.
