PCM Analyzer

Anybody know of a tool to derive the word size, bit & byte orientations of a .RAW pcm file?

Thanks!

How did you obtain that .raw pcm stream?

It doesn't have a container header, so if you don't already know if it's 16-bit or 24-bit, mono, stereo or multichannel, big-endian or little-endian, then you have to open it in an adequate audio editor, and try until you can hear something understandable.

Output is from Audacity 1.3beta. Any input helps me, as I'm mostly a video guy and fail in the audio realm. What I'm attempting to do is mux it into a MPG2 TS as a SMTPE302m stream. The Muxer I've got requires that I know the info, but since the files were just given to me, I wasn't sure how to analyze. I'll just do process of elimination then; I think it's Signed 24bit stereo, 48khz, little-endian. Sounds like I have some more reading to do though, because I don't know how those relate to the parameters the muxer is giving me. My choices are:

-Validity (Yes/No)
-BitReversed (Yes/No)
-ByteReversed (Yes/No)
-BytesPerWord(1,2,3,4)
-MSjustified (yes/no)
-WordSize (24,20,16)

Some combo of those has got to work, so I'll just plug away at it till I get it right.

Thanks for the input!

Do you know the length of the matching video (hh:mm:ss:ff) ? And the size of the PCM file in bytes? If so, we may be able to derive some likely values.

Actually, yeah. Here we go:
Video = 00:01:00.01
Audio = 17,568,000 bytes

If you can, thats awesome!

Thank you for any input you can provide.
