8SVX file format

[Galahad/FLT]

This is making me scratch my head.

So i've ripped audio from Youtube, then converted it to WAV and then converted that to 8SVX.

I can play that 8SVX audio file in Hippoplayer, and it plays it perfectly at the right speed with period of 124.

However, when I try to play the same file outside of Hippoplayer by using my own sample code that hits the hardware directly, no matter what period value I use, its never right, if I put in the period Hippoplayer uses with the same sample length its too slow still.

I've checked that the file isn't compressed and it isn't.

Does 8SVX store its information in a strange way, because without compression, I was expecting the raw data to be there in the file after the header.

EDIT: Figured it out, the format is storing 2 channels worth of data!
