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))
