I attempted reverse engineering this file format for includsion in libsndfile a number of years ago but made little progress beyond reading the actual chunck data. The results of that work is in the src/rx2.c of the libsndfile tarball. It can be enabled by configuring libsndfile with --enable-experimental. > And since we do it not just for fun, but for actual results, we'd be > glad if developers of other applications (FreeCycle and Smasher are > the first I can think of) implemented support for REX2. If libsndfile has it, all the programs that use libsndfile can have it too. > Coincidentally we are also interested in people who are good at audio > compression algorithms. *cough* Monty *cough* :) >From my previous work on this file format, I came to the conclusion that they don't actually use an audio compression algorithm, but rather, they use an encryption algorithm.
