Hi, Following up to my previous post, I figured out how to get 24 bit wavs and thus flacs from an mlp stream. MPlayer hits a couple of issues playing the wav and the flac though. Samples are here: http://www.csy.ca/~shane/mplayer/ 6ch.wav is generated from the original mlp source, trimmed for space. 6ch.flac is: flac -8 6ch.wav mplayer on the wav with channels 6 actually plays ok, a bit of clicking but the screen gets flooded with: [reorder_ch] Unsupported sample size: 3, please report this error on the MPlayer mailing list. Channel ordering on the wav is correct though. The flac on the other hand has its channels in the wrong order. I think it's because flac is using a nonstandard channel layout. metaflac --list 6ch.flac METADATA block #2 type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT) is last: false length: 84 vendor string: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917 comments: 1 comment[0]: WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE_CHANNEL_MASK=0x060F I had a quick look through flacdec.c and I don't see it supporting flac channels masks. The flac decoder in the flac distribution itself does support this.
