Re: [jokosher-devel] Ogg Vorbis vs. FLAC as default recording format for Jokosher

[Laszlo Pandy <laszlok2 gmail com>]

0.10 has been released. We were cutting a little close to the Ubuntu 
freeze and I wanted to get it out of the way. I think the beginning of 
the release cycle is the time to make this sort of decision.

Do we have any good testing results for FLAC vs Ogg? It would be nice to 
have a list of known issues of both formats. Otherwise they are mostly 
equal, although we did decide many moons ago that FLAC should be the 
default because of lossless quality.

So if the known issue count for FLAC is zero, then I think we should 
switch the default.
