[Flac-dev] Re: Odd xmms plugin behavior

[Josh Coalson]

hmm, you must have found a bug.  the format does support other
resolutions and sample rates, and the test suite does include
numerous 8 bps mono files, so it's probably in the plugin itself.

if you 'flac -t' the encoded 8-bit mono file, does it test ok?
