<div>Going in details through the FLAC format specification, I realize that there are 2 rice coding methods now supported for residual encoding. I thought I remembered in the 1.1.3 times that there was only 1 method (with 4-bit Rice parameter) [or was I drunk ? ;-)]. Going through the change log, I didn't find any reference to such an addition to the format.

<div>Now, the decoder implementation I'm working on only implements the 4-bit-parameter-method; I've been using it extensively, including on files encoded with the reference encoder v1.2.1, and never stumbled on that second method. Does the reference encoder implement that yet ?
