flac dev - Nov 2004 - RE: basic encoder help

I'm currently facing the same problem.
I added the libFLAC++ libraries to my MSVC application.
I implemented the same quality levels (0-8) as used in the FLAC frontend
application.
But the resulting files are remarkable different between my application and the
FLAC frontend (although using the same settings).

for example:

FLAC frontend (quality = 8)
--------------------------------
FLAC_vendor = reference libFLAC 1.1.1 20041001
bitrate = 1047
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
bitspersample = 16
codec = FLAC
 ---------- 
4831008 samples @ 44100Hz
File size: 14 334 137 bytes



My Application (quality = 8)
-------------------------------
FLAC_vendor = reference libFLAC 1.1.1 20041001
bitrate = 1314
samplerate = 44100
channels = 2
bitspersample = 16
codec = FLAC
 ---------- 
4831008 samples @ 44100Hz
File size: 17 995 449 bytes

this is hard to debug without having all the code... what if,
for each FLAC::Encoder::*::set_*() functions, after calling
init(), you call the equivalent get_*() functions and see if
you get back what you set.
