[FFmpeg-devel] ALAC encoder is not bitperfect

[Brent Huisman]

Hey Jai,

I've used several different builds, including the new ffmpeg 0.5. Any
and all versions I tried exhibit this behaviour. Also any and all
source wave files I use have this. Have you tried bitcomparing
yourself? I've read more reports of these consistent mismatches, so
I'm pretty sure you'll experience them as well.

Thanks,

Brent
