Re: [AD] docs: play_audio_stream clarification

[Ben Davis <bnd25@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you guys would like the proper terminology, I believe it is "sample frame" 
for an entity comprising both (or all) channels, and the individual values 
are "sample points". This is according to an 
official-but-not-proofread-looking document I got from wotsit.org for the 
.wav file format.
