Hi,

What exactly is the reason why libFlac and/or the FLAC command-line en/decoder currently
doesn't support 32bit integer samples?

The comment in "FLAC/format.h" -> of FLAC__REFERENCE_CODEC_MAX_BITS_PER_SAMPLE notes that the FLAC format supports 32bit, but the reference en/decoders currently do not. Does this mean that libFlac or just the commandline tool is limited to 24 bit?

We would love to use FLAC as a total replacement for WAV files in our product (in exported song and instrument content), but really need to have 32bit support, as our internal sample format
is 32 bit.
I already hackily tried to change FLAC__REFERENCE_CODEC_MAX_BITS_PER_SAMPLE to 32u and ran some tests using libFlac. All seemed to work well, so this limitation is maybe (no longer?)
needed?

Greets,
eduard
