The spec is ok, Rice parameter can be 0 to 14, 15 is escape code. And Rice parameter 0 means that only the unary part is used. For example 000001000010001001011 is -3 2 -2 1 -1 0. -- Miroslav Lichvar ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ Flac-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flac-dev
