                                  // 2 bytes/sample and 1024 samples/frame
				  // Default: 8192
  
  // minimum input buffer size (set only if you need input buffering)
  // (should be the max compressed frame size)
  sh->audio_in_minsize=2048; // Default: 0 (no input buffer)
  
  // if you set audio_in_minsize non-zero, the buffer will be allocated
  // before the init() call by the core, and you can access it via
  // pointer: sh->audio_in_buffer
  // it will free'd after uninit(), so you don't have to use malloc/free here!

  // the next few parameters define the audio format (channels, sample type,
  // in/out bitrate etc.). it's OK to move these to init() if you can set
  // them only after some initialization:

  // Note: if you have VBR or unknown input rate, set it to some common or
  // average value, instead of zero. it's used to predict time delay of
  // buffered compressed bytes, so it must be more-or-less real!
  
//sh->o_bps=...     // output data rate (uncompressed bytes per second)
  // Note: you DON'T need to set o_bps in most cases, as it defaults to:
  //   sh->samplesize*sh->channels*sh->samplerate;

  // set the compressed and uncompressed packet size (used by the demuxer):
  sh->ds->ss_mul = 34; // compressed packet size

  //        the caller process needs 'minlen' bytes. if it gets less, it will
  //        call decode_audio() again.
