Hi!

Trying to encode a multi channel 5.1 audio file with Flac which is saved by BASSEnc with the following flags:

       EncoderFlags := BASS_ENCODE_PCM OR BASS_UNICODE OR BASS_ENCODE_RF64 OR BASS_ENCODE_AUTOFREE OR BASS_ENCODE_FP_24BIT;

But no output is generated, the following error is given by Flac:

WARNING: skipping unknown sub-chunk 'JUNK' (use --keep-foreign-metadata to keep)
WARNING: legacy WAVE file has format type 1 but bits-per-sample=24
ERROR: WAVE has >2 channels but is not WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE; cannot assign channels

Could this WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE channel mapping data to be included with BASSEnc's WAV PCM saving, please?
I am trying to achieve maximum quality (I am working on a converter, especially to support multi channel conversion) so I would need this with all possible combinations (16/24/32bit integer/32bit floating point/all possible channel count from 1 to 8 ).

Here's an update to try...

   www.un4seen.com/stuff/bassenc.dll

It adds the following BASS_Encode_Start/Limit flag for a WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE "fmt" chunk...

#define BASS_ENCODE_WFEXT 0x400

It isn't currently possible to specify a custom channel mask (dwChannelMask); a standard mask will be used based on the number of channels (0 will be used if there are more than 8 channels). Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Seems working fine.

Thank you!
