Hi all,

As said before, I've already sent a patch for this issue here: https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/251

However, that fixes the overflow triggered. I've now sent in a patch to fix the root cause: https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/252

In short: I explained in post #20 that sometimes FLAC chooses the wrong rice parameter, which causes enormous file bloat. Because of an overflow, the FLAC encoder actually thinks that the resulting very large frame is the smallest possible. This overflow should be fixed in PR 251, the first patch. This second patch, PR 252, makes FLAC not choose the wrong rice parameter anymore, fixing the root cause.

That's great news. :)

Hope both fixes gets added soon.

Flac 1.3.4 compiles on rarewares have the same problem again, because the fix (https://github.com/xiph/flac/pull/252) did not made it into version 1.3.4.

If u grab any of my FLAC-git releases (from May or later) so is the fix in those releases since it was pushed/merged into the flac master in April.
