I haven't heard of anyone using FLAC for 192khz, so you'll probably just have to experiment. when you have some results, let me know so I can tune the defaults better. for high sample rates, tweaking -b and -r (and to a lesser extent -l) is important for high resolutions (24bit), -l, -e, -p, -q are relevant. > Also i'd like to ask whether a no-lax 192kHz mode is planned in flac, > seems like 192kHz isn't directly supported although flac can compress > such rate in lax mode. no, it's a limitation of native FLAC. if the only reason to use --lax is for 192kHz, the files will still be streamable but some hardware players may not support a sample rate that high. > My last question - is there any chance for flac to support w64 files? > That would be cool since it would allow to compress >2Gb files. > (not sure if flac can compress >2Gb raw files) > See http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ for reference. never heard of w64 before now. if it's close to WAVE it's more likely. is there a spec?
