The next generation of Windows Media audio codecs.

Extra data layout

This is a rough guess of the extra data from the asf container (little endian order).

byte 1-2    Bits per sample (wBitsPerSample) (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791274.aspx)
byte 3-6    Channel mask (dwChannelMask) (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790436.aspx)
byte 7-14   Not used
byte 15-16  Decoding flags, bitfield used for calculating samples per frame amongst others (int16_t)
byte 17-18  Probably some flags for low bitrate files.

Example extradata dump of a 5.1 file:

[[18] [0]] [[3f] [0] [0] [0]] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [[e0] [0]] [0] [0]

Example extradata dump of a stereo file:

[[18] [0]] [[3] [0] [0] [0]] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [[e0] [0]] [0] [0]

Example extradata dump of a low bitrate stereo file:

[[10] [0]] [[3] [0] [0] [0]] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [0] [[e0] [0]] [[42] [c0]]

Channel configuration

Wma pro uses the dwChannelMask for channel configuration.
