Hi Brian. Thanks for liking the idea.
The code for doing this, could actually be fairly easy. If you start researching on what a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is, and understand how to implement a rough algorithm on this, you could easily add a test in the code, before the encoder kicks in, and prompt a message to the user, that it should be aware that the file could not be compressed, because it might already have been compressed. If you need help implementing a FFT, I'd be happy to help out. I think the codebase is frozen because the development have ceased? - Jørgen.
