I can test compilation on a CentOS/VirtualBox virtual machine if there's interest.

For what it's worth: this happens to me when I record with my Edirol R-09 in 24-bit mode. I'm guessing some solid-state recorders do not completely adhere to the .wav file format standard.

Re: [flac-dev] FLAC 1.2.1b versus 1.3.0: file size differences at level -8 (best)?
Answering my own question: I thought this had been answered before, but cannot find confirmation: if I recall correctly there's hardly any advantage (if any) to re-encoding from 1.2.1b to 1.3.0 at the highest compression level (8/best), right? The following post (and subsequent replies, obviously) seems to indicate that I can just stick with 1.2.1b: http://hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=101082st=25p=836245#entry836245 Apologies for the waste of bandwidth, Martin ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

The out and out most widely supported lossless audio format could (and should) have a better bang for the buck to the average user (who has possibly been tempted away from MP3 or WMV or some Apple format). I have a vague recollection that going beyond -4 is incompatible with certain hardware players. Sorry I don't have a reference for this, but it seems like even -8 or --best are not 100% compatible with all decoders. Going beyond that to -9 or even -12 seems like it would be far less than 100% compatible. I think you're referring to an old Squeezebox forum thread (now long gone*) in which it was mentioned and consequently shown that anything higher than the default of -5 could potentially run into playback difficulties. Especially -8 was bad for some reason. That said, I can't recall if a later firmware update solved the issue. Also, are Squeezeboxes even being sold/manufactured anymore? *: I thought the (now dead) link was mentioned somewhere on Hydrogenaudio, but can't find it. --Martin ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

Re: [flac-dev] Meet the new maintainer
[some snips] tweaked and applied. The main problem is that the FLAC test suite takes 30 minutes to run on a 2.8 GHz Core II Duo. I encourage the keen to do a daily checkout and build. I will be building it on x86 and amd64 Linux every day and running the full test suite. Looking for someone to do that on Mac and Windows. I'd be happy to help with Windows - I have the following: - XP SP3, 32-bit - W7 SP1, 64-bit Cheers, Martin ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
Re: [flac-dev] Meet the new maintainer
It's been a while since I've worked with Visual Studio, so some dumb questions ahead. To start: should I use http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express, or something else? That's a fine place to start if you have windows but don't already have a copy of the microsoft compiler. Just checked, and I already have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable installed - probably part of the cruft of Windows Update. Will try with that first. ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev

Re: [Flac-dev] are 588 sample frames subset or nonsubset?
I am thinking of ripping albums to a single flac file with embedded cuesheet. As track and index points have to be on a 588 sample boundary due to the CD TOC standard working in 588 sample frames, I thought it may be beneficial to rip CDs with a blocksize of 588 samples. [snipped rest] Perhaps a dumb question, perhaps a refutation: since you're ripping CDs that (I assume) already conform to the Red Book standard, aren't blocksizes (a multiple of) 588 samples anyway?

Re: [Flac-dev] wav to flac corruption
Unfortunately it seems that the majority of flac players cannot play 24bit files - winamp, windows media player (with flac plugin), vlc, amarok, kaffeine and a few others ALL failed to play the file. I would The latest version of Winamp works fine for me, at least with 24/48 - haven't tried 24/96 yet.

If you want to try another player, try sndfile-play from libsndfile which compiles and works on Linux, win32 and Mac OSX. Seconded.
