Audio programming... ( Perhaps Off-topic ?? )

First of all I wish to say that this is a nice board.. I've been hanging around for a while.

goto question;

question:

I'm looking for some information regarding audio (PCM) programming.. eg. general consepts for digital audio, how to work with PCM, and effect algorithms etc.. etc..

Sorry if this was off-topic, but I guess there are a lot of programmers here who have been working with digital audio and perhaps know a few pointers to guide me in the right direction..

I'd start here

You can also give the Open Source Sound Guide a shot (if you program in *nix, that is). You can find it at:
