Finally! I can ditch away 32b special casing in my project cleanup and backup automation! As much as I love WavPack[1] (it's great and has 32 bit integer/fp support since forever), Flac is much faster and probably more future-proof. Thanks a lot everyone at XIPH, your work really makes a difference.
Edit: oops, I can't. No fp support yet.

- ksec 4y agoIt is sad that a technically superior and patent free technology often lose out in the popularity contest. Sigh.
- dTal 4y agoWhat do you mean? Both FLAC and WavPack claim to be patent-free.
- ksec 4y agoI am not aware of FLAC claims to be patent free ( when it started ), it may be royalty free and patent free now given it has been 20+ years since 1.0. They do however claims they dont hold any patent on it. WavePack was specifically designed to be Patent Free, or using old and expired Patent techniques.
