Well, wavpack is also designed for lossless audio. If the whole .gig is compressed as such then I'd use a generic format, maybe .xz aka. lzma2. wavpack only has 'raw-pcm' options which obviously refer to pcm data. I don't know how .gig works and whether the samples and the meta-information can be split/joined easily. Probably not worth the trouble. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
