• A byte is a collection of 8 bits.
• A SV8 stream is a linear stream of bytes.
• Most data is written from the MSB to LSB into the stream, exception are some fields in the APE Tags.
• A "bps" is 1 bit per second, a "kbps" is 1000 bits per second.
• A SV8 stream is a stream of bytes, i.e. byte order is different from SV7 the same as MPEG Layer 3.
• Bitstream is decoded byte by byte from MSB to LSB.
• Maximum temporal bitrate is
  • 2508.4 kbps for 44.1 kHz,
  • 2730.3 kbps for 48 kHz,
  • 1820.2 kbps for 32 kHz,
  • 1254.2 kbps for 22.05 kHz.
• Maximum average bitrate is 1411.2 kbps.
• All Huffman codes are canonic Huffman codes.
