Gets or sets the bits per sample for the WaveFormatTag format type. (wBitsPerSample) If WaveFormatTag is PCM, then this should be equal to 8 or 16. For non-PCM formats, this member must be set according to the manufacturer's specification of the format tag. If WaveFormatTag is EXTENSIBLE, this value can be any integer multiple of 8 and represents the container size, not necessarily the sample size; for example, a 20-bit sample size is in a 24-bit container. Some compression schemes cannot define a value for BitsPerSample, so this member can be 0.
