With the help from matter I think i know what is the cause for HeadAC3he crashing in mp3 mode.

In the meanwhile to prevent this, this is the work-around:

1.) Use dumb mode, and no crashes will occur.

2.) If you want the speed of float mode than use float mode *only* in this conditions, otherwise it will crash:

Set target to wav 32 bit (int or float) and look at the filesize. If it is below 2GB, you can use float mode. If it is above, float mode will crash, so use dumb mode instead. This will give you perfect mp3 files and dumb mode is still faster then any other tool. :)


The bug is that I need to process file positioning with two 32bit vars (to handle 64bit filesizes) but right now I only use one 32bit var... So I need to find out how this works...
