Hi Guys, I know that FLAC format is currently limited to 8 channels but I was wondering if this hard limitation of the format or if it can be easily circumvented if the flac library is compiled with other settings and/or the software using it don't mind it Thanks ! -- Olivier Tristan Research & Development www.uvi.net
Hello Olivier, the limitation is in the file format itself, as the number of channels is encoded in a 3 bit field in the streaminfo metadata block. Tor-Einar Am 25.

I see :( That what I would call a good struct size optimisation. Please tell me there was another reason behind this being only 3 instead of 8 or 16 bits, right ? 2017-01-25 18:30 GMT+01:00 Tor-Einar Jarnbjo <tor-einar at jarnbjo.name>:> Hello Olivier, > > the limitation is in the file format itself, as the number of channels is > encoded in a 3 bit field in the streaminfo metadata block. > > Tor-Einar > > Am 25.
