roslibjs audio_common_msgs wrong array length

Hi,

I publish audio_common_msgs Audiodata from my ros module and subscribe to it via roslibjs

    var audio_topic = new ROSLIB.Topic({
    ros : ros,
    name : '/camera/audio',
    messageType : 'audio_common_msgs/AudioData'
});

It works but the length of the data is incorrect. I send predefined array sizes of 512 and check in my ros module if the length is really 512. However in my roslibjs webpage the data is of length 684. I dont know where the other array values come from. Can someone help me out?

thanks

Could it be that the binary data is encoded as base64? Similar to how images are encoded in roslibjs?

Excellent comment. This was so obvious but I didn't think of it. I try to enocde it in the evening and see if it's true. base64: 64 = 2^6, so 6 bits instead of 8: (512/6) *8 = 682,6. So it is not exactly 684, but very close and it could be filled up to 684 (next even number) or something like that.

It's correct with "atob()". Thanks!
