Hello. I have a set of data which is mu-compressed from 12 bits to 8 bits. I need to maniulate it in its 12-bit form and I'm not sure what the conversion process between the two is. All of the books I've looked in for an explanation have a few graphs displaying the wonderful properties of mu-encoding but no direct explanation of how to go from one to another. Does anyone out there know the definitions of the encoding algorithm and wish to tell me what it is? If it makes a difference, this data was taken off of the audio port of a Sun Sparcstation (/dev/audio). Thanks. -P
