I'm setting up a FLAC stream using a playlist of FLAC files. Like all
proper files sourced originally from CDs, these are 44100 Hz 16bit files.
Therefore I set the FLAC parameters like so:
output.icecast(
%ogg(%flac
(samplerate=44100,
channels=2,
compression=4,
bits_per_sample=16)),
(etc...)
Set like this, Liquidsoap cuts off the first second or so of each file.
However, if I change it to samplerate=48000 the files play normally.
Unfortunately, this introduces unacceptable resampling artifacts to the
audio, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a FLAC stream. The
artifacts are clearly audible when the liquidsoap stream is compared
against our web player, which plays the same files in the browser using
http5 streaming.
I notice that VLC also reports bits per sample as 32, which may or may not
be a clue.
I'd *really* like to get this working. You can hear the test stream --
currently @ 48000 -- here:
http://enc-2.radioparadise.com:8000/flac
It may or may not be in sync with our regular audio (at
https://radioparadise.com) -- I'm working on a playlist update issue -- and
will be subject to periodic stops & starts, as it's still a work in
progress & not public.
Thanks for any pointers or suggestions.
