It's a 20 year old format.

ZStandard is a very good compressor, with an especially fast decompressor. Maybe someone should try using this instead of zlib in an audio format (FLAC, WavPack, ...)

I mean, is there really a need for utilizing ZStd for audio compression?

FLAC is extremely good at compression audio, has very fast encode and uber fast decode. It also doesn't use zlib...
