Dear Ulrich, Thanks for your answer. >Well, today 4 GiB is about half an hour of 8-channel, 96 kHz, 24-bit >uncompressed audio, or about 0.9 % of the capacity of a modest 2 TB >HDD. Not much, in other words, and who hasn't cursed yet at artificial >4 GiB (or even 2 GiB) limitations? So I wouldn't be too sure about the >"ever", even though it does seem very far

...rames) one would have room for a 7616 year file! Its not that we need space for 7616 years, its that if we only use 32 bit offsets, then we would be limited to files of 2 Gigabytes (signed 32 bit integer) is simply not enough. For instance, at 96kHz/24 bits, recording 8 channels would chew up the 2Gigabytes in about 15 minutes. Some songs are longer than that, If 32 bits is not enough, the next logical amount is 64 bits.

Fact is that FLAC is highly economical in items such as reserving 20 bits for sampling rate or 3 bits in the middle of the middle of a byte for number of channels (which a...

I have a beefy machine (Intel dual-quad core, 16GB memory 2 x GigE) I have loaded RHEL5.1-xen on the hardware and have created two logical systems: 4 cpus, 7.5 GB memory 1 x Gige Following RHEL guidelines, I have it set up so that eth0->xenbr0 and eth1->xenbr1 Each of the two RHEL5.1 guests uses one of the interfaces and this is verified at the switch by seeing the unique MAC addresses.
