    \class QAudioFormat
    \brief The QAudioFormat class stores audio stream parameter information.
 
    \inmodule QtMultimedia
    \ingroup multimedia
    \ingroup multimedia_audio
 
    An audio format specifies how data in a raw audio stream is arranged. For
    example, how the stream is to be interpreted.
 
    QAudioFormat contains parameters that specify how the audio sample data
    is arranged. These are the frequency, the number of channels, and the
    sample format. The following table describes these in more detail.
 
    \table
        \header
            \li Parameter
            \li Description
        \row
            \li Sample Rate
            \li Samples per second of audio data in Hertz.
        \row
            \li Number of channels
            \li The number of audio channels (typically one for mono
               or two for stereo). These are the amount of consecutive
               samples that together form one frame in the stream
        \row
            \li Sample format
            \li The format of the audio samples in the stream
    \endtable
 
    This class is used in conjunction with QAudioSource or
    QAudioSink to allow you to specify the parameters of the audio
    stream being read or written, or with QAudioBuffer when dealing with
    samples in memory.
 
    You can obtain audio formats compatible with the audio device used
    through functions in QAudioDevice. This class also lets you
    query available parameter values for a device, so that you can set
    the parameters yourself. See the \l QAudioDevice class
    description for details. You need to know the format of the audio
    streams you wish to play or record.
 
    Samples for all channels will be interleaved.
    One sample for each channel for the same instant in time is referred
    to as a frame in Qt Multimedia (and other places).
