Hi to all! I have a database of audio files that I want to losslessly compress. Unfortunately I have several 8bit A-law and mu-law files in the database and I see from here http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_tools_flac.html that they are not supported by the reference flac encoder/decoder. Is there a reason for this? Would it be possible to add support for these files in the reference

...FLAC format altogether, decoders are not made to work with it (they can only output plain PCM) Best option would be converting these files to 16-bit plain WAV and compressing, but I guess files won't be much smaller that way. IMO best is to keep them as they are.

The problem is more that FLAC should not be a collection of code to read every possible file format in existence. That would be a duplication of at least two other aud...

...cate the code. If anything it'd make more sense to remove code for reading other formats from the flac sources and just use libsndfile for that part. cheers, Conrad.

Ciao, sorry if I will say some things that will not make any sense, but I have a limited experience with Ruby, Apache and Linux in general, and therefore ask you all for help. I''ve configured Apache 2.3 to run on Suse Server Enterprise 10, and it works fine (can easily get index page). Then installed Ruby on Rails, and if I start the Test application with the included web server (sorry
