The short answer is yes, but for it to be work promoting a new standard, you really want to do *significantly* better than flac, like lossless at half the file size. That's a lot harder than an extra 10% or 20% compression. A great research project, in other words, but I think we'd do better to concentrate resources on improving support for the existing flac format which is very widely adopted. -r _______________________________________________ flac-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
