flac can occasionally be worse than shorten
...gh it does seem strange that
shorten can out perform flac in these limited cases. When flac does get

then you're going to get more and more people asking about this? I know my
statistics teacher would shake his head at this conlcusion , but I've
compressed around 50 albums with flac and found 1 where the LSB is 0. Even
if it's 1 in 200, that's going to be lots of cases where shorten out
performs it?
But, hey I program too and this seems like a pain in the arse to code
just for these limited cases :) Glad you got...

1. it estimates the mean of the signal for each
block, subtracts it out and stores it separately.
but this is pretty useless for the predictors that
shorten uses as they are pretty insensitive to the
mean (try different values of -m from 0 to whatever
and note practically no
