Hmm, I don't know the history of the code, but flac 1.2.1 stream_encoder.c has
min_qlp_coeff_precision = FLAC__MIN_QLP_COEFF_PRECISION;
/* try
to ensure a 32-bit datapath throughout for 16bps(+1bps for side channel) or
less */
if(subframe_bps <= 17) {
max_qlp_coeff_precision = min(32 - subframe_bps - lpc_order,
FLAC__MAX_QLP_COEFF_PRECISION);
max_qlp_coeff_precision = max(max_qlp_coeff_precision, min_qlp_coeff_precision);
}
in process_subframe_(), whereas evaluate_lpc_subframe_() has the comments that
you refer to.
I've not done an analysis to determine whether these constants should match, or
if maybe they should remain distinct.
