I don't understand where the 32-bit number comes from. The numbers are
actually 16-bit, so we should use int16_t. If it is believed that an
array of 16-bit values actually representing an intereleaved array of
left-and-right stereo samples is confusing, than we should use an array
of struct StereoSample { int16_t left, int16_t right };.
