this means that you will get a new value every 512 samples (aka 8
blocks, or 11.6ms at 44.1kHz).
the value you get will take the last 1024 samples into account to
calculate the RMS.

this means that you will get a new value every 512 samples (aka 8
blocks, or 11.6ms at 44.1kHz).
the value you get will take the last 512 samples into account to
calculate the RMS.

so you get the same number of values, but they use different time-frames
for doing the averaging.
