[vorbis] Why FLAC, why not MAC?

[Csaba Horvath]

JCF> I don't know anything about MAC; how much smaller are the files?
JCF> Perhaps FLAC can learn from it... perhaps not.
Unfortunatelly it can't, because it's not open source, but it's free
to use for non-commercial purposes. It seems to be Windows only though.
I've done a quick test and the MAC file was 12% smaller, than the FLAC
file.
You can download MAC from http://www.monkeysaudio.com

JCF> Seems beneficial to stay within the Xiph stable if the tools will allow

Like transcoding? OggdropXPd supports MAC files.
