In digital audio, an opaque data structure for transporting audio format metadata. For audio formats that use them, such as AAC, a magic cookie is produced during encoding, accompanies the data stream that it describes, and is employed during decoding. Magic cookie data is not accessed directly, but rather via a codec-specific interface.

A dimensionless unit for expressing the ratio of two quantities, abbreviated as dB. The decibel difference between two power levels is equal to 10 times the common logarithm of their ratio. The decibel difference between two voltage levels is equal to 20 times the common logarithm of their ratio. Decibel values are typically associated with a standard voltage or power level. For example, acoustic levels are commonly referenced to 0 dB SPL, equivalent to 20 µPa (micropascals). See also SPL.
Industry:Software; Computer
The calculation of intermediate values relative to known beginning and ending values.
