That would be great! I was actually starting my small ”project” with libsndfile, but it was done in a way that I didn't agree with, and since I only work with FLAC files (mostly 24 bits) I decided to try to go with libflac instead, which seems to let me do things the way I want more than libsndfile. For example, when loading an audiofile with libsndfile, all the samples are converted to floating point numbers, which is what I want anyway, but the conversion is done by dividing the integers from the file with pow(2,bps-1), but when converting back, they multiply with pow(2,bps-1)-1, so if you just read and then write, you end up with a slightly lower volume (not that you can hear any difference if you do it only a few times, but still, it isn't right, AND it is very easy to do it right, so why don't they?)… Johnny Rosenberg, the beginner > > Erik > -- > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Erik de Castro Lopo > http://www.mega-nerd.com/ > _______________________________________________ > flac-dev mailing list > flac-dev@xiph.org > http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
