[flac-dev] stream_encoder: 32 vs 64 bit accumulator

[lvqcl]

Another interesting comment is inside src/libFLAC/include/private/fixed.h:

"The _wide() version uses 64-bit integers which is statistically necessary
when bits-per-sample + log2(blocksize) > 30"

I mean the word "statistically".

libFLAC uses FLAC__fixed_compute_best_predictor_wide()
if "bits_per_sample + FLAC__bitmath_ilog2(blocksize)+1 > 30" is true
(see encoder->private_->use_wide_by_block  variable in stream_encoder.c)
