Fair enough.

Note, that Christof's suggestion of s_n being the number of samples per 
channel (that is: it's what I suggested as s_nframes) does not require 
any division: we know the sample frames (s_n) and the number of channels 
(s_nchannels) and getting the total number of samples is a simple 
multiplication.

Given the issues pointed by Christof, this is probably the simplest 
solution.

But of course, in order for christof's suggestion to work, the data 
ought to be "planar" (samples for the 2nd channel come after all the 
samples  for the 1st channel.

But for SIMD to be fun, data should be interleaved...
