a test suite for FLAC would be great, but where do I find it?

I thought the "test" part of the source was like a unit test for the whole FLAC package and not exactly what I was looking for. I'm more interrested in if diffent bit in flac files will still have the right amplitude when I play my files in my implementationn, and if I'm mapping multichannel files to the right speakers is done corrently in my implementation. But what you're saying is that the test suite will generate such files for me, that's great Best regards Daniel rsdio at sounds.wa.com wrote:> When you download the full source for FLAC and read the instructions, > you'll see that 'make test' will run the test suite.

When you download the full source for FLAC and read the instructions, you'll see that 'make test' will run the test suite. The instructions warn people that this can bring even a good machine to its knees, and it is not recommended for everyone to run it. I have run it because I have submitted an installer package for Mac OS X, and it seemed prudent to take the time to test something that many people would use. Anyway, the test suite is there in the source package, you just need to read the documentation.
