By preventing SOX+recoding, perhaps he's referring to alternate
tanscoding methods. For instance, this is my custom-convert.conf:
Code:
--------------------
flc flc transcode *
# FT:{START=--skip=%t}U:{END=--until=%v}D:{RESAMPLE=-r %d}
[flac] -c --totally-silent --compression-level-0 $START$ $END$ $FILE$
--------------------
My impression is that SOX is a behemoth in terms of memory and CPU
resources consumed. This custom-convert.conf prevents SOX from being
used and limits the spawned processes to a single instance of flac. And
yes, this single flac instance gets spawned for each track. Also, this
method fails if a flac has spurious IDV3 tags in addition to vorbis
tags.
So, I, for one, am still looking forward to Andy's "fix",...howsoever
imperfect it may be.
