Hi all, I'm jumping in on this thread to make a few remarks about the spec. I implemented a FLAC decoder by only looking at the spec, and I have a few notes that would have saved me a lot of time if the spec had mentioned them. They are obvious in hindsight, of course.
* If the channel assignment includes a difference channel, then the subframe for that channel has one extra bit per sample in order to encode the difference. * The number of bits per sample for a subframe, is the number of bits per sample of the frame, minus the number of wasted bits per sample of the subframe (and possibly plus one for a difference channel). I hope this helps future implementers.
