just to make no doubt about audio decoding .
In one of my pages I have a segment table like:
206 208 41 40 ....

I will have to check if this packet is 0 (confirm if this is audio), read
post and pre windows size and make the mapping inverse and all the stuff
with all of them, correct??

Thanks again, Mr Giles.
