Thanks to the implementation of a new optimized CRC algorithm
There are many suitable audio formats for various uses. Some allow you to reduce the size of the files. Within this latter group, a distinction is made between so-called destructive or lossy audio formats that do not allow the original to be recreated from a compressed audio file and non-destructive or lossless audio formats. )
Lossy formats like Ogg allow you to get small audio files at the expense of quality. In contrast, lossless audio formats such as FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) are used when the quality of an audio file takes precedence over the storage space it is likely to take up.
The Ogg format is a free audio compression format that is an alternative to the more popular Mp3 format. The FLAC free audio compression format, on the other hand, would generally reduce the size of Wav files by approximately 50%. These two audio formats are compatible with the Xiph.Org Foundation, whose objective is to offer free, patent-free and open multimedia formats and codecs.
FLAC and Ogg would now have better audio encoding and decoding capabilities thanks to recent improvements to the code that underlies their respective operations. These two formats now use an optimized CRC algorithm to speed up encoding or decoding operations.
The advertised gains are around 5% in encoding and decoding for FLAC, versus 10% in encoding and 15% in decoding for Ogg. The Opus and Monkey audio audio formats would also be affected by this update, but the expected gains would be more modest: around 1% in encoding for the Opus audio format and around 4% in decoding for the Monkey audio format. Audio. Note in passing that the Opus format (originally Harmony) is a lossy audio format that was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to be used by interactive applications on the Internet.
