Currently apodization function is hardcoded, see commit <http://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commitdiff;h=4e8fe85bceb245dfce07d1956b144e1cb6587c9f> FLAC is locale-dependent so "tukey(0.5)" doesn't work for locales with decimal comma. But "tukey(5e-1)" should be locale-independent so it is possible to re-add 'const char *apodization' member into

As we?re talking 1.3.1 release, I?ve been keeping track of a couple of changes that I feel should be included in the changelog and that I might as well share here. The things between brackets are just to refresh memories, I?d leave them out of the actual changelog. * Improved efficiency of 24 bit decoding. (https://git.xiph.org/?p=flac.git;a=commit;h=ea0d5ddadc6902e873983c89f473130b3bb6625f) *

Hi, I was doing some speed and compression comparisons with various apodization/windowing functions, and found out that the definitions for the bartlett and bartlett_hann window in the FLAC codebase have been wrong since their introduction. The attached patch fixes that. Furthermore, I found some peculiar behaviour of the gauss apodization that seems to expose bug. Using different windows

Hi Guys, Does having multiple apodization functions change something to the decoding process or does it only apply to the encoding process ? I have been able to gain almost 10% by using several apodization functions (it takes way more time to encode but this is quite a non issue in my use case) but I don't want to sacrifice any decoding speed as this is the bottleneck for me. Thanks,

Yes, that is correct. These functions are used to window the audiodata, but only for the predictor stage. What these new function enable,

Hi all, With the patch I mailed earlier today, I found out a few adjustments could be made to the compression level settings.This retuning speeds up the encoding and improves compression, while not changing anything decoding-wise. Currently, compression settings are as follows -5, -l 8 -b 4096 -m -r 5 -A tukey(0.5) -6, -l 8 -b 4096 -m -r 6-A tukey(0.5) -7, -l 8 -b 4096 -m -e -r 6-A

Flake is a completely independent codebase. When I used it years ago, I remember it being not only better compression but significantly faster as well. I believe some of the techniques used in libflake were added to libFLAC in 1.1.4. However, some of the improved compression in flake was due to options that are outside the FLAC 'subset', such as larger blocksize, greater number of
