[Interest] Qt6 porting guidance: QSound? QAudioFormat: endian, codec?

[Doris Verria]

Hello Dave, 

At the moment, there is no support for changing the format of QAudioBuffer. This will be a task for after 6.2.
We will consider adding support for decoding into a requested format to QAudioDecoder in time for 6.2.

Best,
Doris

    more specifically, can i create an empty QAudioBuffer in the required format, and assign to it the QAudioBuffer that came from QAudioDecoder, and expect it to conform to my specified format?

    thanks
