[OPEN SOURCE] MLAC, a mostly lossless audio codec

Just discovered, not that "new" (2020):

This is work in progress. The MLAC format is not yet frozen, so audio encoded using one version will probably not be decoded properly using another version.

16-bit stereo audio encoding and decoding works.

The lossless mode gives almost FLAC-like compression for difficult material, and is faster both in encoding and decoding. The packet size is suitable for Bluetooth Low Energy audio applications. The lossy mode could still be improved, and there is no stream handling yet. I suggest to switch to lossy mode for each packet that might otherwise result in an audio buffer underrun.

Work in progress, they said. Last updated 4 years ago, Codeberg added. M-m, okay.
• Join our efforts to make Helix MP3 encoder great again
• Opus complexity & qAAC dependence on Apple is an aberration from Vorbis & Musepack breakthroughs
• Let's pray that D. Bryant improve WavPack hybrid, C. Helmrich update FSLAC, M. van Beurden teach FLAC to handle non-audio data
