24 bit FLAC plays back incorrectly
From the vorbis@xiph.org list:
Hello,
upon installing flac1.2.1 and xiphqt0.1.9 component on a mac, 24bit flac files, whose integrity has been proven and which otherwise decode and reproduce flawlessly, play in quicktime player with wrong volume, i.e exactly 2^8 = 256 times too loud.
I guess, the appropriate amplitude scaling routine might have been accidentally omitted somewhere in the code. In case this issue goes beyond your concern, please be so kind to report the problem to whomever it may concern.
Hardware: MBP OS: 10.5.6 QT: 7.6 (472) Pro FLAC: 1.2.1 XiphQT.component: 0.1.9
Thanks in advance,
Regards, SJ
