Title: Standalone ALAC encoder without QuickTime/iTunes installed?

Hi

Since Apple Lossless (ALAC) now is open source since last year, are there standalone binaries for Windows and Linux available that can be used without QuickTime/iTunes installed?

(I only see a reverse engineered decoder available on rarewares.org)

There's refalac (https://github.com/nu774/qaac/wiki/refalac-usage), which is bundled with qaac. Maybe someone could port it to Linux?

Again, post #391 (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=78072&st=375&p=803958&#entry803958) to make it portable with foobar2000.

refalac.exe + msvcr100.dll + msvcp100.dll is portable.

Thanks for the replies!
Seems like both Windows and Linux are covered.
