The IESG has received a request from the Codec Encoding for LossLess Archiving and Realtime transmission WG (cellar) to consider the following document: - 'Free Lossless Audio Codec' <draft-ietf-cellar-flac-11.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-09-27. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) format and its streamable subset. FLAC is designed to reduce the amount of computer storage space needed to store digital audio signals without losing information in doing so (i.e., lossless). FLAC is free in the sense that its specification is open and its reference implementation is open-source. Compared to other lossless (audio) coding formats, FLAC is a format with low complexity and can be coded to and from with little computing resources. Decoding of FLAC has seen many independent implementations on many different platforms, and both encoding and decoding can be implemented without needing floating- point arithmetic. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-cellar-flac/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
