An audio file format is a file format for storing digital audio data on a computer system. The bit layout of the audio data (excluding metadata) is called the audio coding format and can be uncompressed, or compressed to reduce the file size, often using lossy compression. The data can be a raw bitstream in an audio coding format, but it is usually embedded in a container format or an audio data format with a defined storage layer.
The best scenario is when a program suffers from frequent
page faults. In the situations when a kernel thread experiences a page fault,
another kernel thread can be switched in; something a single-threaded process
will not be capable of doing. Another best circumstance is when a program has
to wait for other systems events.
