The "--best" switch currently synonymous with "-8" that synonymous with "--compression-level-8" that synonymous with "-l 12 -b 4096 -m -e -r 6".
Why value of "-r" switch in "--best" is limited to 6? The maximum Rice order is 8 (not 6) for the stream to be Subset compatible. "-r 8" ("-l 12 -b 4096 -m -e -r 8") produces better results than "-r 6" ("-l 12 -b 4096 -m -e -r 6") and and also Subset compatible. _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
