[Flac-dev] A-law and mu-law

[Giulio Paci]

Hi to all!
	I have a database of audio files that I want to losslessly compress.
Unfortunately I have several 8bit A-law and mu-law files in the database 
and I see from here
http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_tools_flac.html
that they are not supported by the reference flac encoder/decoder.
Is there a reason for this?
Would it be possible to add support for these files in the reference 
encoder?

Bests,
	Giulio.
