Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is an audio format, data is compressed with no loss of information or quality.
FLAC is a format option for archiving audio collections such as CDs.
Ripping a CD to FLAC allows an exact copy of an audio CD to be created if the original is lost or damaged.
Supported devices: https://xiph.org/flac/links.html#hardware
Supported software: https://xiph.org/flac/links.html#software

When I am leaving my office I am often closing some 15 browser windows, some 10 terminal windows, about 5 different files open in the text editor.
Most used apps on my desktop include #Firefox #Thunderbird file manager (pcmanfm or nautilus), Gedit, VLC media player, electron based apps such as teamsforlinux, losslesscut and gnome-terminal.
Next I'm using @LibreOffice, I am also using #Emacs with #speechd-el a little and finally some other less frequently used apps.
As for the #TTS or the #audio setup I am using #RHVoice, speech-dispatcher and @PipeWire Project .
Finally with @Matt Campbell and @Lukáš Tyrychtr we do have tallented visually disabled developers dogfooding or partially dog fooding so let me finish this post by saying it really is gold era of a linux #a11y and we are looking forward for what it brings us in the future.

I learnt something important about Linux audio last night.
I noticed that I had no sound in X-Plane 12 (a flight simulator) while also being in a Discord call in Firefox. Apparently, certain FMOD applications check if PulseAudio is installed and fall back to ALSA if it isn't. Now, I have PipeWire installed to fix the mess that is Linux audio once and for all. So TECHNICALLY PulseAudio is not installed. And that's exactly what X-Plane detected, which then tried to gain complete control over the sound hardware through ALSA, which it couldn't.
The "fix" was to symlink `/bin/pulseaudio` to `/bin/true` to make it look like PulseAudio is available which tricked X-Plane into going through PulseAudio (and therefore through PipeWire) instead.
That was one of the weirdest problems I've ever encountered.

Fun random fact: the sample rate of Audio CD format is 44100Hz. The Nyquist frequency for audible sound is roughly double the upper limit of human hearing, which is 20kHz.
So why is the CDDA sample rate more than 40kHz, but only a little bit more?
The prime factorization of 44100 is 2^2•3^2•5^2•7^2, which gives a LOT of options for computationally cheap downsampling and playback speed reduction. 😁
Edit: See replies for more reasons this sample rate was chosen! 💙

Well this is nice -- using my stock @fedora desktop, I start up Guitarix and Carla, and start noodling like a noob on my guitar without thinking too much about setting things up, because @pipewire is excellent.
There's ways to go for this to be a *good* user experience, but it's still miles ahead of having to manually poke and prod to get some basics started, and some of the Guitarix fx sure are fun :)

Hi there, fedi,
Did you know you can use your fedi account to #voice #chat with followers or other fedizens? The software is called #audon (for #audio on #mastodon I guess) and works pretty well.
And if you're the sort of fedi person who likes DIY and self-hosting, the project is free software so you can do that, too. Give it a shot, if voice is something that interests you at all.
