I have four questions: 

1. Is there a function out there to return the proper sample format based upon 
whether a sample is linear / planar, signed/unsigned, and byte size? In 
samplefmt.h, it seems there are functions to retrieve the sample format by 
name, or switch between linear and planar formats, but no functions to 
determine which sample format should be used based upon sample buffer 
attributes. Does such a function exist elsewhere? 

2. To confirm, are all linear sample formats with more than one channel 
interleaved by default? In other words, must all linear sample format data be 
interleaved as such (pseudocode): 

ch1[0] -> ch2[0] -> ch1[1] -> ch2[2] -> ... -> ch1[n] -> ch2[n]

3. Is endianness in every sample format native endian, meaning, for example, 
that if I have a float in a captured sample buffer which is native endian it 
will require no conversion to a sample format endianness?

4. Is there a function that will output the endianness for a sample format at 
runtime? I read what the documentation says, but having been at a brick wall 
with processing captured audio, I need verification that the sample format I'm 
converting into is indeed apples:apples. 

Thanks, 

Brad
