What you've described, Dave, sounds like you ended up doing a thorough code review of the FFmpeg sources as you re-worked them for your application. Provided that you also referenced the FLAC specification while doing all of this, I'm sure you're not quite as exposed to potential FFmpeg bu

Thanks for the info, Dave. Speed is a very important feature, but there might be some risk choosing the FFmpeg decoder. They've had trouble with their encoder in the past, which tells me it's possible your users might one day run into a valid FLAC that the FFmpeg decoder won't handle corr

Hi, I'm a developer with the Rockbox project - http://www.rockbox.org - which is a written-from-scratch operating system and application suite designed for portable audio players. We of course support FLAC, and have a small, well-optimised (for embedded targets, including ARM) decoder which I
