[meta: Thanks, Josh, for clearing that up]

Continuing my quest to make everyone think I'm an idiot, could someone 
explain the following code to me?  I.e., what the two for loops are 
accomplishing, and what, *exactly*, is in s16buffer when it's done. 
Assume I want to write a .wav file from this decoded flac*.  Is it already in
approximately the right format, or do I have to do some sort of 
conversion? This code is ripped almost directly from decode.c in flac/, 
just heavily cut down to deal with only 1 type of file (i.e., I'm not 
dealing with differing endianess right now).

[this code is in my write callback]

static FLAC__int8 s8buffer[FLAC__MAX_BLOCK_SIZE * FLAC__MAX_CHANNELS * sizeof(FLAC__int32)];
FLAC__int16  *s16buffer = (FLAC__int16  *)s8buffer;

if( wide_samples > 0 ) {
    for(sample = wide_sample = 0; wide_sample < wide_samples; wide_sample++) {
        for(channel = 0; channel < channels; channel++, sample++) {
            s16buffer[sample] = (FLAC__int16)(buffer[channel][wide_sample]);
        }
    }
}

Sorry for the newbie-style questions, I'm afraid I'm not that good, and
it's showing through :-)
