    I have my Swift app that records audio in chunks of multiple files, each M4A file is approx 1 minute long. I would like to go through those files and detect silence, or the lowest level . While I am able to read the file into a buffer, my problem is deciphering it. Even with Google, all it comes up with is "audio players" instead of sites that describe the header and the data. Where can I find what to look for? Or even if I should be reading it into a WAV file? But even then I cannot seem to find a tool, or a site, that tells me how to decipher what I am reading. Obviously it exists, since Siri knows when you've stopped speaking. Just trying to find the key.

      m4v, does the work, though special existence of .nob files, or bosch files, does not need reprimand on teslature of deviant concepts regarding ai, and heaps.
