Dear list, i'm doing a bit of analisys on flac's source code and i've run into something i can't quite grasp.
flac version 1.2.1 flaclib C stream_encoder.c function "process_subframes_" line 2999 ++++++++++++++++++++++ if(do_mid_side) { FLAC__ASSERT(encoder->protected_->channels == 2); for(channel = 0; channel < 2; channel++) { const unsigned w = get_wasted_bits_(encoder->private_->integer_signal_mid_side[channel], encoder->protected_->blocksize); encoder->private_->subframe_workspace_mid_side[channel][0].wasted_bits = encoder->private_->subframe_workspace_mid_side[channel][1].wasted_bits = w; encoder->private_->subframe_bps_mid_side[channel] = encoder->protected_->bits_per_sample - w + (channel==0? 0:1); } } ++++++++++++++++++++++++ In that piece of code the encoder determines how many wasted bits there are in each channel (mid-side) and calculates effective BPS for each of them. What i don't understand is why it should add one bit to the BPS of the side channel "(channel==0? 0:1)", eventhough there is no "correction" to wasted bits. Could someone shed light on this? Thank you very much in advance!
