Hi! I've recently read the flac sources, and it appears to me that you're quatizing the LPC coefficients directly. However, this might be not as efficient, because LPC coefficients are very sensitive to quantization error. I don't know how much space the LPC coefficients occupy in the resulting FLAC file - if its not much, it probably doesn't matter. But if its a significant amount of data, it might be better to convert the LPC coefficients to LSF/LSP coefficients, and store those quantized. This should provide the same quality at a lower bit count, if I'm right. Here is a link that describes LSF/LPC coefficients: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_spectral_pairs Cu...
