I have converted the same wav file with FLAC 1.1.2 on two different machines. Flac on these two machines was installed at different times (about 2 months apart) but the version incl all the file sizes and time stamps are the same so I am pretty sure it's exactly the same program. Despite that the two machines produce different results. Nevertheless, after converting the flac files back to wav the result on both machines are the same. So the question is what is going on here? Are the algorithms used different on different machines? In my case one of them is a dual Athlon and the other one a Pentium M.
