I think everyone on this thread has been both polite and helpful.
When you ask a very open question like "how can it be truly lossless?"
you should expect that som

Basically, yes. It does not need to be strictly labeled as a FIFO,

Flac network streaming is tricky because of the way flac handles silence in
audio, but it can be worked around with a few lines changed in libflac. I've
recently developed some of the only software I know of that lets you simply

No offense intended, but your logic is backwards. You should be

If you're going to be condescending, then it only to remains to say

My question is based on temporal considerations. Given a WAV file
converted to FLAC and then decoded to WAV, is it possible for artifacts
to be introduced? I've been told that FLAC files, when played back into
a high-quality sound system, fail to properly reproduce certain kinds of
sounds, like
I'm well aware how compression works. But images and document files do
not depend on the relative timing of the data to reproduce themselves.
They are in essence only two-dimensional in space, whereas the data in a
sound file is time-dependent.
The question really has more to do with the decod

The same way zip and PNG compression are truly lossless: something can take
more space than the information it contains needs.
For instance, take a 1024
FLAC is variable bitrate, but the bitrate is determined by how
efficiently the data can be compressed while maintaining 100% data
integrity.
