Which lossless codecs are streamable?

Which lossless codecs are streamable? (i.e. if one block breaks it doesn't affect the rest of the track) Is FLAC the only one? And what's the current status of wavpack 4?

Thanks

OK, I've just read something on the optimfrog page which suggests it is also streamable.

EDIT: Does anyone know of an oggdrop type thing for optimfrog. I like the ~drop frontends.  Thanks

flac v1.1.0 and  Ogg Squish 0.98 are listed here.  Other than that I am really not sure...

There are no available sources for Frog, not even for decoder (AFAIK), therefore it's impossible to code a GUI encoder.

At best, you can wish for a frontend like Layer3maniac's ones, that just call the command line encoder.

Hello Roberto,

I was talking about optimfrog actually. Frog was obsoleted by its newer optim variety.  And the layer3maniac frontend was precisely what I was looking for.

Have fun.

EDIT: Typo.

Whatever. There are no sources for it either. :B

@honz318712: The version of optimfrog on that part of the flac site is quite old (version 4.21).

The optimfrog site says...

The new foobar2000 plug-in has streaming support (playing HTTP streams)


Which sounds cool. Has anything happened with squish?
