The simple case is integer PCM, where bits per sample equals precision. But there is also floating-point PCM (32 bps, 25 precision), ADPCM (4 bps, 13-or-so precision), FLAC (varying bps, 8/16/24 precision), and Vorbis. That's why I think the inconsistency actually is a non-zero bps value for FLAC. > Perhaps there should there be a '-p' flag for show precision in soxi? > That would match the "Precision" field when soxi is called without > switches... Yes, that's good. Done. :-) Ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
