To perform this test properly you've got to make a loop out of the
signal you're recording. The number of samples in the loop should be:
(number of samples) module 512 == 511 (or 1)
Then repeat the loop 512 times (or more). ATRAC's window size is 512
samples (11.6ms) and this 1 sample shift will cause ATRAC to window
the signal with every possible alignment boundary.
