[Flac-dev] floating point

[Didier Dambrin]

Another point for floating point support: see how WinZip has started using 
WavPack, I think that was a smart move.

It was already the case with RAR & its multimedia compression, I think 
modern packers need to be multimedia aware. This is very risky, though, and 
of course requires total lossless compression (assuming it won't try to 
encode wavs that use codecs).

At the same time it's already too late for zip, it's already used too much 
to touch its format. But for installers (that come with their own 
decompressor anyway), it can be very interesting. Well, if our installer 
(nsis for now) had built-in multimedia compression, we wouldn't even need to 
bother.
