Dear Ulrich, Thanks for your answer.
>Well, today 4 GiB is about half an hour of 8-channel, 96 kHz, 24-bit >uncompressed audio, or about 0.9 % of the capacity of a modest 2 TB >HDD. Not much, in other words, and who hasn't cursed yet at artificial >4 GiB (or even 2 GiB) limitations? So I wouldn't be too sure about the >"ever", even though it does seem very far away at the moment. OK, I get the point, but even at 192 kb/s, 32 bit sample resolution and say... about 100 channels (but by the very definition of a sample count one should consider one sample per frame, even if it has 100 subframes) one would have room for a 7616 year file! It seems a bet for a long life for FLAC --and for humankind!
