Main blocker: Mixxx currently uses only the file extension for the
determining the file type. The file extension ".m4a" is already used for AAC
files even if both AAC and ALAC files are stored in an MP4 container with
the same file extension.
It might be possible with my extension of the SoundSource plugin framework:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/605
Drawback: ALAC files will first be opened by SoundSourceM4A first. This will
fail and then SoundSourceSndFile takes over.

P.S.: I have converted all my ALAC files to FLAC (including all metadata and
cover art) when I stopped using iTunes for managing my music collection.
It's a simple shell script that uses ffmpeg and metaflac.

Hi everyone.
Apparently ALAC support has been added to libsndfile (since 2012.) We need
to adjust Mixxx to allow loading of these file types so we can ensure they
work. Does anyone have any ALAC files they can test with?
(This is of interest because some digital DJ music pools supply music in
ALAC format.)
