The third option makes most sense to me. I don't think we should complicate decoders by requiring them to support 64-bit residuals only because it's technically possible to encode such a stream. Decoders can produce wrong output or reject the stream as invalid, but they should not crash. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
