the source code from monkeysaudio.com is the only original SC. why do you have doubts on this codec?
Monkey's Audio is a lossless codec, further definition and details can be read at monkeysaudio.com.
APE is just the file extention name for Monkey's Audio files (*.ape).
It WAS one of the first wide-spreaded codecs in lossless use. Nowadays FLAC, WavPack and ALAC are used by more people than APE.
FB2K,APE&LAME

Methinks it was just a cheeky, primate-related choice of a three letter extension!

Sorry to be pedantic - and OT - but while monkeys and apes are both primates they are completely different "branches" of the primate tree and are not the same thing at all. The most obvious difference being that monkeys have tails while apes don't.
