Audio Lossless Coding
Features
Support for PCM resolutions of up to 32-bit
Arbitrary sampling rates (tested up to 192 kHz, higher frequencies such as 384 kHz can be handled with the current specifications)
Multi-channel / multi-track support (up to 65536 channels)
Fast random access to any part of the encoded data.
Tagging
Streaming
Error correction mechanisms
Optional storage in MP4 file format
Can be multiplexed with video data using MP4 file format
An MPEG-4 Audio profile “ALS Simple Profile” is currently under development (as of 2009[update]).
Software support
As of 2006[update], there has not been wide acceptance of this format, possibly due to the lack of encoders and decoders available.
A reference implementation of MPEG-4 ALS encoder and decoder can be obtained at the MPEG-4 ALS homepage and it was also published as ISO/IEC 14496-5:2001/Amd 10:2007/Cor 3:2009.
There is a MPEG-4 ALS Decoder plugin for Winamp player.
On November 11, 2009, the FFmpeg open source project gained an MPEG-4 ALS decoder in its development version.
History
In July 2002, the Moving Picture Experts Group issued a call for proposals of lossless audio coding procedures to be sent in before December. Seven companies submitted their proposals which were examined taking into consideration compression efficiency, complexity and flexibility. By July 2003, Lossless Predictive Audio Compression (LPAC) was declared as the official draft for the future standard. The reference model was further developed under participation of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB), RealNetworks, and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT).
