This patch to opus-tools adds optional support to WavPack lossless format as input to opusenc. Like support to FLAC, it depends on an external library, libwavpack, and may be disabled on configure.

Hi, I have read this on a forum: 'FLAC supports 24-bit audio fine. My understanding is that the FLAC format also handles 32-bit ints, but the reference encoder does not implement it, and FLAC has no support for float data. WavPack handles all integer bitdepths up to 32-bit and also 32-bit floats. Both codecs handle all sampling rates.' I was wondering if there are plans to support

Try using WavPack, http://www.wavpack.com/ This can losslessly compress 32-bit floating point WAVE-EX files, and faithfully preserves every chunk (which FLAC does not do). It is also free.

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

> PS: Here is the answer of David Bryant, the developer of WavPack: "The WavPack codec is hardware independent; the standard "C" encoder will produce the same byte-for-byte output regardless of the CPU it is running on (assuming a properly working C compiler, of course)." The same is true of flac, as long as you're using the same version of the encoder, right? The same

Hello FLAC list. As far as I know 24 bit FLAC support is broken. It often doesn't compress the audio at all, but instead stores the chunks as verbatim type (although the FLAC format supports 24 bit). Perhaps this is fixed? If so, do let me know. I agree that perhaps 32 bit float/pcm isn't entirely necessary when it comes to storing different qualities. But when wanting to preserve

Dear list, We are investigating about some state-of-the-art lossless audio codecs and their performance in terms of? rate and compression ratio. Therefore, it is very important to us to know whether a codec is hardware independent, i.e. if it produces the same output file regardless of the hardware. Could you please tell me whether FLAC is hardware independent? Thank you very much in advance.

Isn't the FLAC encoder 'tuned' for the compression of audio data at common sample rates anyway? Does it make sense to use FLAC to compress arbitrary analog data at very high sample rates as opposed to other general purpose compression algorithms?

Hi all, Currently I'm looking for users of the --keep-foreign-metadata feature of FLAC. There has been some improvement of this feature in FLAC 1.4.0. Since 2007 there has been a warning in FLAC that --keep-foreign-metadata is a new feature. I think removal of this warning is long overdue, but there are still some issues surrounding it. So, if there are users of this feature on the mailing

Not sure if this belongs here or in flac-dev. I am subscribed to both, so flop it over if fits better over there. Looking at the Changelog for FLAC 1.2.1 (17-Sep-2007), it says: "With the new --keep-foreign-metadata in flac, non-audio RIFF and AIFF chunks can be stored in FLAC files and recreated when decoding." Where can I find more detail on what is a

Hi all, It hasn't really been publicized much yet, but Apple has a new container file format called CAF: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MusicAudio/Reference/CAFSpec/ CAF files current support integer and float PCM formats, A-law, u-law and a number of others including AAC and Apple's own Apple Lossless Audio Codec (alac). I have already implemented support for what I can
