Hi I am thinking of ripping albums to a single flac file with embedded cuesheet. As track and index points have to be on a 588 sample boundary due to the CD TOC standard working in 588 sample frames, I thought it may be beneficial to rip CDs with a blocksize of 588 samples.
According to the format page on sourcefourge a stream is subset if "The blocksize bits in the frame header must be 0001-1110. The blocksize must be <=16384; if the sample rate is <= 48000Hz, the blocksize must be <=4608. As far as I can tell, this means that a blocksize of 588 should be subset, although the blocksize would be a 16 bit value at the end of the frame header. However when I try encoding with flac 1.2.1 it says that only the blocksizes that can be represented in the 4 bits in the early part of the frame header. Which is correct? Can anyone forsee any problems with encoding with a block size of 588 samples?
