Hi all.. I am looking for information regarding the exact make up of a
PCM sample. I have been googling for a while now without getting any
real information as to just how exactly audio information is
encapsulated into PCM. Any information regarding this, or even a
pointer to a resource that would help me, would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Barry Blesser, "Digitization of Audio: A Comprehensive Examination
of Theory, Implementation and Current Practice," J. Audio Eng. Soc.,
vol. 26, no. 10 1978 Oct.

An excellent overall summary, not so lofty as to be
incomprehensible to anyone with high-school competence
in math and science

Ken Pohlmann, "Principles of Digital Audio," McGraw-Hill, 1995

A large book, commonly available, cover many aspects of
digital audio, including a reasonably thorough discussion
of PCM.

To summarize: PCM simply measures the signal amplitude at
discrete moments in time, converts the measurement into a
digital number, and stores or transmits these values, one
after the other. This simple explanation ignores some of
important requirements, such as aliasing and imaging and
such, but that's the most basic of explanations.
