AkAudioBuffer API is misleading or bugged

0 votes

I'm using akDevice->RegisterCaptureCallback to process sample data in my project. I noticed that the AkAudioBuffer I receive for that call has misleading API. I'm registered for data callbacks of a stereo device, but the data I expect is mono (left channel only). I access the left channel data by calling AkAudioBuffer::GetBuffer(0). I expect this to return only the left channel data. But instead, it returns an interleaved buffer with all the right channel samples (every odd sample) being zeroed out. So after calling `AkAudioBuffer::GetBuffer(0)`, I still need to iterate over the resulting AkSampleType* and extact all even samples from it.

As a developer reading the API, I expected the `AkAudioBuffer::GetBuffer(0)` to return only the data of the left channel. Is this is a bug, or is this intended behavior?
