Another point for floating point support: see how WinZip has started using WavPack, I think that was a smart move.
It was already the case with RAR & its multimedia compression, I think modern packers need to be multimedia aware. This is very risky, though, and of course requires total lossless compression (assuming it won't try to encode wavs that use codecs). At the same time it's already too late for zip, it's already used too much to touch its format. But for installers (that come with their own decompressor anyway), it can be very interesting. Well, if our installer (nsis for now) had built-in multimedia compression, we wouldn't even need to bother. _______________________________________________ Flac-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
