Hi and thanks for your helps (I hope :)).

I just would like to know what’s the best way to read an entire audio file (wav) and store the samples in a buffer!

I want to do like this for study purpose… so… I’ve to demonstrate sample by sample manipulation and have to start from the entire buffer !

I hope you will help me!

Cheers
