I have a question about the FLAC's reference implementation encoder. So I have the following use cases: I have tested both flac 1.3.2 and flac 1.4.3 on reencoding existing .flac files with the -f option. There are cases in which I try to reencode .flac files which are compressed by other FLAC implementations (ffmpeg's one for example) which seems to deliver better compression on some material than the reference implementation. In these cases, flac 1.3.2 gives an error for failed compression ("ratio must be ? 1.000" message) and writes bigger file than the original one, while flac 1.4.3 recompresses without giving the error , otputting ratio bigger than 1.000. My question is whether these behaviours are normal and is there a risk for corrupting the audio material because of some error? Because it seems to me that regardless giving an error or compression ratio change or not both flac 1.3.2 and 1.4.3 are actually finishing the compression? I've tested the output files with -t and none of them had problems so far. Thank you in advance for your time!
