About PCM and ALAW
audio/pcm
Raw audio samples: 16-bit unsigned, big-endian.
audio/basic
A-law is a companding algorithm mainly used for PCM digital communications systems in Europe. It compresses 16-bit audio into 8-bit to save bandwidth while maintaining intelligibility for voice.
Conversion Notes
Audio conversion from PCM to ALAW re-encodes at the highest quality setting appropriate for the target format. Lossless-to-lossy conversion (e.g., FLAC to MP3) is a one-way process — converting back to lossless does not recover the discarded information. Metadata tags (title, artist, album, track number) are mapped to the closest equivalent fields in the target format.
