== Zero value in signed code==
The article sais ''If the sample is 16-bit signed, the sample range is from -32768 to 32767, with a centerpoint of 0''. If the entire range <math>[-2^{N-1}, 2^{N-1}-1]</math> is allowed, then the zero value actually is (assuming the zero value is the average of maximum and minimum)
<math>
\frac{-2^{N-1} + 2^{N-1}-1}{2} = 2^N\frac{-2^{-1} + 2^{-1}-2^{-N}}{2}=-2^N 2^{-N}/2=-1/2\neq 0
</math>
==Merge with Pulse Code Modulation==
I don't think the LPCM article should be merged with Pulse Code Modulation.
It is a computer media format, like MPEG, not just a data encoding format.
