Olav, A change like this could easily break the format. That would be a bad choice. On the other hand, an informational 'application' block could be added in a way that does not break the format, and this would even be backwards compatible since 'application' blocks have always been a part of the specification. You simply won't be able to rely on them being there.

No, this has been addressed before.? The FLAC format has no compression levels or even any encoding parameters that cannot be gleaned from the frame headers.? Everything else is implementation-specific and doesn't need official metadata support for.>________________________________ > From: Olav Sunde <ogs at olavsunde.net> >To: flac-dev at xiph.org >Sent: Monday, February 6, 2012 3:16 AM >Subject: Re: [flac-dev] Meet the new maintainer > > >At 09:33 02.02.2012, you wrote: >Thanks Erik, I'll check back. > >This next is a feature request: Today it is not possible to know theencoding of a flac archive.
