EasyAudioEncoder Issues

When I go to play a 4K rip on my iOS or any device that needs to do transcoding of the audio. I get constant errors about EasyAudioEncoder Timeouts because it is unable to find the .wav files it is expecting. Looking at the directory where EAE is transcoding to, I find files with a .mlp extension. If I change the extension from mlp to wav on one of those files it plays fine in VLC.

I will provide a link to the process of doing it on Ubuntu. Thanks.

The solution to this is straight forward. Increasing the table size is easy. The first step is to determine how many directories to alloca…
