Hello all I am using libFLAC in a corner application, compressing *a lot* of small signals. First is a general question: in our application we have signals in range 5-10 MHz, potentially 40MHz! Is there any potential problem with that?? The mac sample rate is limited in flac, but it doesn't really seem to be a problem. The output is stored as blob in a sqlite database, it *never *needs to be a valid audio file outside our application. In my tests, the signals are compressed very well, much better than general compression libraries like zlib, zstd, etc.
Now other small issues; I also made some tickets about them, but I thought asking here might be better. 1. I would like to avoid saving vorbis comment, by default ~40 bytes. Right now the only option is to modify stream_encoder.c, see "metadata_has_vorbis_comment". 2. Speed is very important, therefore I would like to reuse an encoder without re-initializing everything. Ideally I would like 2 (exported) functions: "flush" and "restart". "Flush" is self-explanatory, should properly end the encoding. I could split myself "flush" from "finish", it looks relatively simple. "Restart" should keep all current settings, generate a new stream header and clear everything for encoding a new signal. It' clear that current settings, re-creating windows, cpu-dependent functions, etc could be kept around. I was not quickly able to extract all the necessary initialization from "init_stream_internal_" into a new "FLAC__stream_encoder_restart" function. Regards, Gabriel Corneanu
