NAME

       flake - Alternative Free Lossless Audio Codec encoder

SYNOPSIS

       flake [options] [input.wav] [output.flac]

DESCRIPTION

       flake  is  an  alternative encoder for the Free Lossless Audio Codec. Most tests turn out very similar or
       slightly better compression than the FLAC reference  encoder,  and  it  generally  encodes  significantly
       faster. Decoding times of the generated files are also close to those made by the reference encoder.

OPTIONS

       -h     Print out list of commandline options

       -p #   Padding bytes to put in header (default: 4096)

       -0..-12
              Compression level (default: 5)

       -b #   Block size [16 - 65535] (default: 4608)

       -l #   Maximum prediction order [0 - 32] (default: 8)

       -o #   Prediction  order selection method (0 = maximum, 1 = estimate (default), 2 = 2-level, 3 = 4-level,
              4 = 8-level, 5 = full search)

       -s #   Stereo decorrelation method (0 = independent L+R channels, 1 = mid-side (default))
