I have demuxed the audio stream from a DVD called "Best of David Bowie". Itīs an 2 channel, 48 khz, 16-bit LPCM wave file. Some more infos about the wave file gave me GSpot v2.1: WAV: 48000 Hz, 1536 kb/s (768/ch x 2 ch).

My question to that file is - can I split it with BeSplit? Because I want to use it with BeSure to make an Audio CD. :p

BeSplit accept pcm has a '-type pcm'.
i believe you could also use the '-addriff' switch to convert your pcm into wave.

hmm.. there is no spec for 'pcm' or 'lpcm', it's only conventions.
usually 'pcm' is about logarithmic representation of samples (8 bit) while lpcm is about linear representation (16 bit).
