You might have to set CFLAGS to look in /usr/local for the iconv stuff on bsd, like so:

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib"
sh autogen.sh
./configure

rjamorim: You're welcome; the changes look great.

One other thing I noticed:
"Comparisions" <-- second "i" is erroneous.

unless a lossless codec comes around that has a significant size advantage (I think at least 15-20%), codec usefulness will be the dominant factor.  one useful thing is the variety of software/devices on which it plays, availability of material, etc.  another may be a hybrid mode, I don't know.

Any plans for a commandline replaygain scanner for Wavpack? A wvgain or wavpackgain or something?
[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=289620"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

would this make it so when i ripped my cd's w/ eac to a wavpack image, i could have it automatically replaygain my cd?

Thanks bryant
Too bad that I can't download it currently in order to update my comparison. Were there changes (in speed) since beta 4?

would this make it so when i ripped my cd's w/ eac to a wavpack image, i could have it automatically replaygain my cd?  and then when i transcode to mp3 w/ foobar2000, id still have the original replaygain values?

if so, that would be awsome!  it would eliminate the extra step of replaygaining in fb2k.

For now I am imagining a command-line utility called WvGain that would accept a wildcard specification of WavPack files (just like WvUnpack does) and apply track gain to each one and album gain to the whole list. ID3v1 tags would be converted to APEv2. Is that enough for most people?

It won't be right away, but I think I think it's easy enough that I could squeeze it in with other stuff sometime soon.

This does not affect the file's usability in either Audition or other WavPack compatible programs.

On your tables you give the WavPack version as 4.2, so I assume that it was beta 3. The encoding speed improvement from beta 3 that I am measuring here is 11% in fast, 15% in normal, 30% in high, and 15% in all the extra modes. Unfortunately the improvement from 4.1 is less because there was actually a performance degradation in the beta 3 compared to the 4.1 release (except in the extra mode).

Thank you, bryant!  WavPack is just what I need for Adobe Audition.

I do have a question, though:

Using the plug-in for Audition, I have the option to "Normalize" the 32-bit float file.  I know that in the accompanying text file it states:

What is the difference made to the file by normalizing?  If the decompressed files are identical, what is the reason for the option?  Why wouldn't one use the "Normalize" option?

Sorry if this is a silly question...
I'm just wondering if there's some benefit in not using the "Normalize" option.

Thanks, again!

I don't know what beta version I used for my wavpack test. I've tried yesterday the beta 4 and compared the speed with the value currently present on my comparison, and there were no changes (tested with -fx5 and with defaulted mode). Are the modifications dependant on a CPU? Mine is old (Duron 800), and it maybe expain the lack of changes.

Anyway, I'll wait to download 4.2 final before updating my comparison.

The reference in the Audition filter settings to "type 1" or "type 3 normalized" refers only to the type of wav file you will get if you unpack the resulting WavPack file with the command-line program. The WavPack files themselves are basically identical, except for the information on what kind of wav file to make if unpacked.

The type 1 files are non-standard because the float data ranges +/- 32768 and the type tag of 1 indicates integers. These were natively created by CoolEdit, and can generally only be loaded by CoolEdit or Audition. I suspect that they got lots of complaints about this and so decided to switch Audition's native format to type 3 (float) files which have the correct range of +/- 1.0 (i.e. normalized) and so can be correctly recognized by other programs.

So, basically this means that if you select type 1 files, the wav file that will result from unpacking will be native to CoolEdit and the type 3 files will be native to Audition. Although either program will load and save in either format, they work faster with their native format (I imagine because they must do a lot of internal conversions). The type 3 files are compatible outside of CoolEdit and Audition, so that's a big advantage.

So, to answer your central question, the only disadvantage to using the type 3 normalized option would be if you unpacked the resulting files back to wavs and then used them in CoolEdit they would operate slower than if you saved in type 1.

One more question:

Is the command-line parameter "-a" the same as "Normalize (type 3)" in Audition?

TIA!
