[flac-dev] Question from Argentina

Dear Ulrich,

Thanks for your answer.

OK, I get the point, but even at 192 kb/s, 32 bit sample resolution 
and say... about 100 channels (but by the very definition of a sample 
count one should consider one sample per frame, even if it has 100 
subframes) one would have room for a 7616 year file!

It seems a bet for a long life for FLAC --and for humankind!

Best regards,
