I found a bug with FLAC v0.6 raw encoding. It appears that the file pointer in the source file is not reset after seeking to the end for checking the size. I've attached a patch. I'm excited about FLAC!! I've been looking for a good GPL lossless RAW audio compressor for use with sound fonts. Sound font files contain 16 bit samples that are word aligned, so just treating it as raw

I just released FLAC 0.5 (Solaris binaries will show up tomorrow). FLAC is now beta; see the homepage as to what that implies: http://flac.sourceforge.net This version adds a MD5 signature of the raw audio signal to the stream header, which can be compared against when decoding to test the integrity of a file. A test mode (-t) has been added to flac to do just that. There is a slight

I've released FLAC 0.6. The big improvements are: - encoding speed in default mode (-6) is at least 3x faster - a new "loose mid-side" adaptive algorithm should help -1 and -5 modes - a new analyze mode for developers - a autoconf/libtool-based build system (thanks to Matt Zimmerman) - bug fixes related to pipes Check the new comparison page. FLAC has the best ratios of any open
