about wavpack hybrid on a mac

Hi,

I'd like to
1. burn some cd audio from wv + wc files...
2. encode some wv/wc files into mp3

XLD support .WV but seems to ignore .WC

Generally, programs that use the WavPack library should support the correction files automatically. If they don't, it should be easy for the author to add support because virtually all the hard work is handled in the library (depending on the API they are using, it might be as simple as setting a flag.) The cases where the correction files are not supported are in hardware devices (like Cowon and Rockbox) and some cases where WavPack has been put into a streaming framework that does not cleanly support multiple input files (like gstreamer).

The next version of the test suite will have a hybrid test sample that will make it easy to determine if a decoder handles the correction file because it will have an easy-to-hear pulsating noise if the correction file is not being used. In the meantime, the easiest way I can think of to test is to start decoding a hybrid file and then a little way in try to rename the corresponding correction file. If you get a sharing violation then it's being used; if you can rename the file then it's probably not being used.
