Can you post some examples of the impact on compression ratio? Do the samples actually use all of the 32 bits? I have no experince with this. If compression of 16-bit audio was limited to 16-bit residuals, I suspect that would have a significant impact, so I'm wondering how it is different with 32-bit audio. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
