On macOS, cannot record PCM 16 bits LE; getting pcm_f32le instead #397

Package version 5.1.2

Environment

Describe the bug

When I try to record with the AudioEncoder.pcm16bits encoder, I get pcm_f32le instead. I am just using the example app, where I changed the AudioEncoder from AudioEncoder.aacLc to AudioEncoder.pcm16bits

To verify the file I use ffprobe, which comes with ffmpeg.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the example project
  2. In AudioRecorder replace AudioEncoder.aacLc by AudioEncoder.pcm16bits
  3. Launch the app on a Mac
  4. Record
  5. Test the file with ffprobe

ffprobe gives the following output:

Expected behavior

The output file should be pcm_s16le, not 32 bits pcm_f32le.

Thanks for the report. Yes this is a know issue. macOS doesn't care of given settings (partially) with PCM. This was discovered and discussed here #280.
