This is a test of a theoretical way of storing samples in a compact way. It is 1 bit PCM, which means all samples can only be on or off. It is very compact, being able to theoretically store over 40 seconds of audio, but that's if you ignore the compression capacity (which is at 95% with only 30 thousand characters and 181 tokens), and also the fact that a sample being played back at only 5512 hz at a sample bit depth of one sounds pretty... awful. Also, no it's not running slow, the screen only refreshes whenever the sample buffer is filled with new data.
The sample is taken from a section of Metallica's "Enter Sandman". Please be careful, as it is also really loud.
