+Located here is a basic decoder for Apple Lossless Audio Codec files
+(ALAC). ALAC is a proprietary lossless audio compression scheme. Apple
+never released any documents on the format.
+What I provide here is a C implementation of a decoder, written from
+reverse engineering the file format. It turns out that most of the
+algorithms in the codec are fairly well known. ALAC uses an adaptive FIR
+prediction algorithm and stores the error values using a modified rice
+or golumb algorithm. Further details are in alac.c.
+
+Although an encoder is not provided, by using the decoder as a sort of
+specification it should be fairly trivial to write an encoder. By
+exploiting other lossless audio encoders, such as FLAC, the task will be
+much easier. Although one wouldn't be able to copy the compression
+algorithms verbatim, as adaptive compression is used in ALAC and not in
+FLAC. There are, however, a bunch of academic papers on the issue.
+
+The program located here will not be able to handle all ALAC files, it
+can only handle mono or stereo files. ALAC allows up to 8 channels. It
+should be trivial to finish the implementation once I find files that I
+can test it with. The ALAC decoder supports both 16 and 24 bit sample
+sizes.
