And most don't work over 2 GB. The solution we (Xiph) have used in other projects (opusenc, oggenc) is to treat sizes over ~2 GB as meaning "Just keep reading until EOF." See wav_open() audio-in.c in opus-tools. It turns out you need to use slightly less than 2 GB for the limit to handle the output of some tools. We also provide an --ignorelength option to request this behavior regardless of the length in the header (which lets it work with tools that just truncate the size to 32 bits). _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
