ZIP might, but audio compression works differently. FLAC for eample has
a run-length block type but that is to deal with identical samples, i.e.
digital silence. There's no case to handle this kind of pattern and I
don't see why you'd want one - if you think that putting 16-bit numbers
in 24-bit buckets is going to make them sound better, then I would think
the increased file size would be desirable to help reinforce the placebo
effect. ;)
