I want to check what is the best way to convert code below to value_string

                                              (buf & 0x04)? "DualChannel " : "",
                                              (buf & 0x02)? "Stereo " : "",
                                              (buf & 0x01)? "JointStereo " : "");
                              offset++;

Here's how I'd do that.  First, the field definition (I'm only showing your first field):

#define MYPROTO_FLAG_SAMPLING 0xf0

static int hf_myproto_flags_sampling_rate = -1;

static const value_string myproto_sampling_rates[] = {
 { 0x01, "48kHz" },
 { 0x02, "44.1kHz" },
 { 0x04, "32kHz" },
 { 0x08, "16kHz" },
 { 0, NULL }
};


Then in your field definitions add this:

  { &hf_myproto_flags_sampling_rate,
   { "MyProto Sampling Rate", "myproto.flags.sampling_rate",
   FT_UINT8, BASE_HEX,
   VALS(myproto_sampling_rates), MYPROTO_FLAG_SAMPLING,
   NULL, HFILL }
  },


Finally, in the same place you'd have the code above, instead you would do this:

 proto_tree_add_item(flag_tree, hf_myproto_flags_sampling_rate, tvb, offset, 1, FALSE);

Will this function choose only one value? If I have flags like 0xff
then I need all flags to be printed.

I was trying  proto_tree_add_item function before.

Andrei


A few things to note here.  First, the values in the myproto_sampling_rates[] array are already shifted so although 
your original code uses 0x40 to identify a 32kHz rate, you'll see that this code uses 0x04.  That's deliberate and 
not a typo.

Second, you'll see that I've added this item to a "flag_tree" variable.  This is a way to preserve the structure of 
the original packet by showing the individual subfields in a subtree.  For a complete example of this, see the tcp 
flags.
