FLAC 1.1.3 beta1 available

yeah, I have not tried building it on my ibook yet so the tests for the assembler must not be up to date.

I think you can get past this problem by deleting line 22818 in configure:

Code: [Select]
test "$AS" = "as" && as --version | grep GNU >/dev/null && AS=gas

That change did allow ./configure to finish however make now ends with errors:
Code: [Select]
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [flac] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
I am quickly getting in over my head!

Josh,

What about licensing issues that prevents FLAC from being packaged with WinAmp?

I get the following warning message on a 192/24/2 wave file created with wvunpack 4.2. Might not be a problem with flac, but thought I should mention it anyway.

options: --lax -P 8192 -b 4608 -m -l 8 -q 0 -r 3,3
02 The Carter Family.wav: WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24

I might remove this warning since I think for 24bps all programs write samples the same way.

After installing FLAC 1.1.3 beta1 on Slackware (gcc 3.4.6) I tried recompiling vorbis-tools 1.1.1, but I get this error:
...

yeah, sorry about that, this is due to the api change which collapses the three decoding layers into one.  this will remove the need for easyflac.c in vorbis-tools.

I will be going around to the major opensource projects and submitting patches for the latest version while the beta goes on.

I think you can get past this problem by deleting line 22818 in configure:

Code: [Select]
test "$AS" = "as" && as --version | grep GNU >/dev/null && AS=gas

Doesn't do the trick (on my Intel iMac at least).

bummer, I'll need the output from make where it broke.

ok, can you post most more of the output, back up to the first error?

Josh,

What about licensing issues that prevents FLAC from being packaged with WinAmp?

Does this include the Winamp plugin, and has this been updated to use the Media Library yet or do I still need to install the patched 1.12 I have?


the necessary code was relicensed to LGPL but there was not enough time to get it into the latest winamp release.  the reference plugin does not have ML support but the one coming from winamp will and has all of the features of the reference plugin, so I'm still deciding how much effort to put into maintaining it.

Well, since it's been relicensed to LGPL, I think you can kind of 'delegate' maintenance to the Winamp guys. I mean, it's the GPL license that has been binding their hands.

@ffooky: looks like you will have to pass --disable-asm-optimizations to configure until I get it sorted out, sorry.

@spies: oops, to fix:
1. change line 47 of flac-1.1.3-beta1/include/share/replaygain_analysis.h to
Code: [Select]
extern Float_t ReplayGainReferenceLoudness; /* in dB SPL, currently == 89.0 */


2. change line 103 of flac-1.1.3-beta1/src/share/replaygain_analysis/replaygain_analysis.c to
Code: [Select]
Float_t ReplayGainReferenceLoudness = 89.0; /* in dB SPL */

FLAC as an input to FLAC works great! Makes it so easy to convert FLACs to --best.
I am also excited about --picture however I cannot seem to get it to work right.
Can someone post an exact example of their command line that works with --picture?
I tried to follow the example given in metaflac but I was not able to figure it out.

I like the new version also but i wonder about the maximum compression.
Josh you talked about 0.1% less compression using -l12 to -l32 in the flake thread. Now flake -12 seems to give clearly better compression than these 0.01% against flac --best. Is there more to expect in the final 1.1.3?

I haven't compared against flake, just "flac -8" against "flac -8 -l 32" and the difference is usually for me < 0.1% (not 0.01%) and I haven't seen any comparisons against flake -12, but what is relevant in the context of limiting the predictor order to 12 (in the subset discussion) is to compare similar flake options differing only in 12-vs-32 order.  the rest of the difference between flac and flake (padding excluded) would then be attributable to some advantage(s) in flake.

the compression won't improve for final 1.1.3 but I have a several leads for the next release.

Hi,

This is for metaflac, but if you change --import-picture to --picture this should work fine.
--import-picture "3|image/jpeg|||Your directory\filename.jpg" "filename.flac"

Be sure to use the quotes & piping like so, because it won't work without them. At least it didn't for me.

Thanks for the answer. I don´t consider flake as real alternative cause of the many missing options btw.

I swear I tried with quotes but I must have put them in the wrong place.

When you encode with flac using files with long names the flac display goes a little mental. Is there any chance of getting the percent and ratio counters to be put on a new line.

Currently, you can avoid this issue by increasing CMD.EXE window:
Start -> Programs -> Accessoires -> Right click on Command prompt -> Properties -> Layout tab -> Increase both "Window:" size values.

I've tested this with flac frontend and works great... Although when i'm in command prompt and type flac, it still shows (flac - Command-line FLAC encoder/decoder version 1.1.2) But after i use frontend and it shows the latest beta version... Anyone know why?

Did you replace the flac.exe and other files in windows/system32 directory? You have to replace those too.

nope , but i searched and there is on flac.exe in win32 folder but no other files, that i believe belong to it. So i can delete it? and paste the newset beta version in there? 
I never deleted anything out of win32folder...
