Abstract
An encoding for data in an audio data stream may be indicated in the data stream using a footer stored in low-order bits of data frames in the audio data stream. When the audio data stream may include either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data, PCM data may be marked with a footer to indicate the encoding as PCM. The footer may be a fixed value, an alternating fixed value, a predetermined sequence of values, or a value computed based on the PCM data. Examples of computed values for the footer marker may include an error code, an error correction code (ECC), and a scrambled code.
