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))
