What is the non-open source codec?
2 comments

HALIC is by far the best lossless codec in terms of speed/compression ratio. If lossy mode were similarly available, we might not be discussing all these issues. I think he stopped developing HALIC for a long time due to lack of interest.

Its developer is also developing HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression). He recently released the source code for the first version of HALAC. And I don't think anyone cared.

Thank you for the information! Appreciate it. Will look into this more.
