{
var root = metadata.GetRootPackage<WavRootPackage>();
if (root.WavPackage != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.AudioFormat);
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.BitsPerSample);
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.BlockAlign);
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.ByteRate);
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.NumberOfChannels);
Console.WriteLine(root.WavPackage.SampleRate);
}
}
