  GStreamer | gst-plugins | Ver: 0.10.18
           Summary: flac encoded by gstreamer are too big, mid-side-
                    stereo=true should be the default
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.18
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: kassoulet at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
     GNOME version: Unversioned Enhancement
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


flac files encoded by gstreamer are usually 10% to 20% larger than ones
produced by flac command line.
I tested with several parameters, and quality setting is not the problem; I've
got massive file size decrease by just adding mid-side-stereo=true on the
gstreamer command.
So maybe this option should be set at true by default (it just a join stereo
feature, instead of encoding both channels separately)
