Can anybody explain why is there 16 in the DAO16 (P and Q subchannels) writing mode's name?

It should be 24 (one subchannel consists of 96 bits = 12 bytes) or 22 (if Q subchannel's CRC (16 bits = 2 bytes) is not written) as in DAO96 (P-W subchannels) -> DAO94.

Information on raw DAO-modes:

  • Where did you hear of such a thing? DAO is just Disk At Once, meaning you write the whole disk in one go from start to finish. – psusi Apr 01 '15 at 23:15

The "16" refers to 16 bytes of sub-channel data (the sum of P and Q). Where do you see that it's not 16 bytes?
