similar to: Idea to possibly improve flac?

First of all, I am not aware of any official source of FLAC files that provide MP3 sourced data. I meticulously check the music I purchase, especially when it is 24/48 or 24/96 material, because this is new technology, and sometimes people get it wrong. However, you should be aware that many modern producers use software to create their music, and when the software stores sound clips in

I'd like to express a few things whilst I have the ear atleast a few folks. There once was a program called oddcast, and then edcast that you could use on linux to broadcast an OggFLAC encoded audio stream from jack. Sounds like something many folks would be interested in doing, but I haven't heard to much of a peep about it. At any rate, it had a a few issues legally and technical

Its really sad to hear thats happening but even more sad is the fact that flac is becoming a very common format for music on the interweb whilst at the same time the development has ceased. I've found some severe issues with OggFLAC that essentially make it a useless format for streaming, no one cared. -David Listener of many flacs On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 3:42 PM, J?rgen Vigdal <jorgen

Hi Brian. Thanks for liking the idea. The code for doing this, could actually be fairly easy. If you start researching on what a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is, and understand how to implement a rough algorithm on this, you could easily add a test in the code, before the encoder kicks in, and prompt a message to the user, that it should be aware that the file could not be compressed, because it

I have not studied the flac codebase, but I'll do some research and try to help you out. It might be stupid, but I guess a good place to start would be in the main() function, where the program receives its parameters from the command line? - J?rgen On Jan 7, 2011, at 10:15 PM, Brian Waters wrote: > I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's

Cool, thanks for all the great comments. I think we agree now on that the "find mp3 before encoding" feature would not be a good idea to implement in the flac core. As Brian pointed out, it might be a better idea to create a program that automatically checks if a flac might have been an mp3 source. My first suggestion was to use FFT, because I know that 128kbps mp3 have a low-pass

I for one am not worried about getting mp3 encoded stuff in my flac files, but I want to respond about "legitimate" OggFLAC. OggFLAC as a format for files, I agree, used by no one. However, I don't know of any other open source way to stream lossless audio. Maybe I did not look hard enough. Certainly nothing I can think of that would hope to be compatible with standard media player

If you guys are familiar on how the piracy groups work on the internet, you are aware that they have "releases" with their names on it. In the piracy "scene", some groups are competing on getting the first release out, and could only be beaten by another group

I'm busy 'till Monday morning but I'll break out the ole' diffy-q's textbook next week and do some background reading, thanks. Any clues on where in the code to look in order to put those hooks in? - Brian On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 4:08 PM, J?rgen Vigdal <jorgen at anion.no> wrote: > Hi Brian. > > Thanks for liking the idea. > > The code for doing this,

By the way, I was delighted to find out that I could join .ogg files with cat, i.e. cat {file1.ogg} file2.ogg > outputfile.ogg <p>I successfully used this capability, together with oggenc and sox, to join two .WAV files in the following manner: <p>oggenc -q9 file1.wav ... oggenc -q9 file2.wav --- cat file1.ogg file2.ogg > outfile.ogg ox outfile.ogg outfile.wav I get

Hello, Is it possible to use R functions (in my case: ks.test()) from C++ -applications? That is, I get the impression R can execute C/C++ code, but is there any possibility to do the opposite?

HI all, I have already added FLAC support to libsndfile and I am now working on adding support for OggFLAC. I have a couple of question about things that seem radically different between regular FLAC and OggFLAC. 1) FLAC has a function: FLAC__seekable_stream_decoder_get_decode_position but there seems to be no corresponding function:

Did you try OggFLAC and MkaFLAC as alternative containers ? For OggFLAC you need libogg, the Xiph documentation should be describing how to seek in the file. But i dont know if using another container than native FLAC framing is an option for you .....

Hi all, In my latest commit I have updated all version strings and copyright dates. I am now going to do a little testing (and encourage anyone else to do the same) and hopefully release in the next day or so.

What is the best way to stream FLAC on a Windows P.C. Danny Ray Boyer

[I'm not online regularly, so don't include me in any replies. And I'm not sure if the vorbis or the flac list, or something else, is more suitable for the following, so bear with me] Moin, moin. I used a recent ogg123 to play back a FLAC file I had created, and saw it wasn't able to seek within the file. So, I thought to myself, why not try out an OggFLAC file, so I created

Hello, I'm currently using Liquidsoap to stream a group of files to Icecast. The stream is sent to Icecast in a few different formats (MP3,HE-AAC v2,OggFlac,OggOpus). The "Current Song" metadata is correctly displayed for the MP3 and the AAC stream, but not the OggFLAC or OggOpus stream. I see a few entries in the Icecast forums, but it does look like FLAC metadata support never

Hi Is there a way to either: Find the real ifindex/ifname a mac-address is bound to or Find the real ifindex/ifname of an incoming packet ? I am writing a dhcp server and need to know what real interface the dhcp re= quest packet came from. An acceptable solution would be to get the interfac= e by the mac-address, but that can be faked so I would rather get the inter= face by knowing where the
