I imagine uncompressing things (not many things are actually clipped) would be very difficult so I'm not holding my breath.
Some processes aren't reversible. An example, I used to work at IBM Hursley and they have massive, labyrinthine offices. On every corner there are signs to direct you to the refectory. Clearly following the signs works on the way there but you can't get back to your office by following the signs in reverse! There is zero information there to get back. Compression is kind of the same. It's very difficult to identify which bits were compressed and which not once they've all been blended into a single entity. You can't even uncompress by frequency because instruments have many frequency components and these each combine - and which were compressed to begin with? I'm not saying it won't work in some cases, I'm just offering extreme skepticism!
