If I use flac with piped input it warns: FAILURE: Compression failed (ratio 495232,432, should be < 1.0). This happens for some files for one or more of the following reasons: * Recompressing an existing FLAC from a higher to a lower compression setting. * Insufficient input data (eg, very short files, < 10000 frames). * The audio data is not compressable (eg a full range white noise signal).
Reproducible with the following command line: flac --ignore-chunk-sizes - -o out.flac < test.wav _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
