If GStreamer has a plugin that can encode CAF, you can make a pipeline for that easily (alternatively, avconv might do as well; though in that case GStreamer should be able to, via gst-libav). The advantage here is that there's no inherent duration/size limitation within the pipeline. If that won't work, you might be able to feed a separate CAF encoder, if it accepts data from stdin, but in that case it is very likely to trip over some limit (like 4GB or some other WAV-y thing; most of the time these kinds of tools expect RIFF WAV as input). Either way, it's not FLAC that's the problem here. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org
