24 bit question
...blem if a 5% error is allowed to be introduced later to discard the noisiest 5% of the data. So, heuristically I would expect most all the gains of reduced detail to be realised in lossy codecs, and rather little or no space saving with lossless codecs.

Is FLAC hardware independent?
Dear list, > Which "output file" are you referring to?? Also, your question is incompletely specified, because you do not qualify whether the input is the same when you expect the output to be the same. My question is the following: For any encoding option (e.g. -5, default), does the flac encoder produce the same byte-for-byte output regardless of the CPU? Regards, Fernando

playback problems with oppo BDP-95
...looks for polynomials that fit, and it takes much more processing to find polynomials with a very good fit and small residuals. On the other hand, the decoder just has to multiply out the stored prediction, which is independent of the compression level.

24 bit question
Someone sent me a question late last night and I briefly looked at his file this morning and couldn't figure out the answer, so I'm posting here. A friend has a a ~275MB 24 bit, 48khz stereo wav file of rock music that when compressed using flac level 8 gives a flac file under 110 MB in size. When I dithered his file to 16/48 and converted that file to flac, the resulting flac file was

playback problems with oppo BDP-95
My friend somehow managed to get a BDP-95, even though the hardware isn't scheduled to ship until March. The problem is that the manual makes no mention of FLAC, at all, and only the web page claims to support the format. Playback of flac seems to work, but files from one online vendor work flawlessly while files from other online vendors have strange glitches that sound like a

PAM function ordering
...elines on how pam_setcred(DESTROY) and pam_close_session are meant to be called, and if there are any constraints in the order between to be portable? Thanks ever so much for any clues you could give me. Hopefully I'm simply missing something. Nicholas ---------- Nicholas Wilson: nicholas at nicholaswilson.uk
