./audio/wavpack, Audio codec for lossless, lossy and hybrid compression

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 5.8.1, Package name: wavpack-5.8.1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing lossless,
high-quality lossy, and a unique hybrid compression mode.
The compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is
between 30% and 70%.

The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with
an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates
both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by
itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file)
provides full lossless restoration. For some users this means never having
to choose between lossless and lossy compression.

wavpack: updated to 5.8.1

WavPack 5.8.1

This dot release replaces 5.8.0 that was missing a couple CMake files in the
tarball and the multicore detection did not compile on MacOS and other BSDs.

5.8.0

Much of the development for this release stemmed from the discovery of \ 
situations where the quantization noise introduced with the hybrid mode was \ 
higher than expected, in particular with very low bitrates (e.g., < 3 bps) \ 
and high sample rates. This was traced to feedback in the decorrelation loop and \ 
has been addressed. Also, audio samples were discovered where the DNS (dynamic \ 
noise shaping) algorithm produced sub-optimal shaping, and this has been \ 
addressed with an all-new DNS algorithm. Finally, some issues were fixed that \ 
caused the "extra" mode performance to degrade with multithreading and \ 
also with the hybrid mode.

The other major change is that multithreading is now turned on by default for \ 
the command-line programs, assuming that a multicore CPU is detected. This can \ 
be disabled with a new option --no-threads.

Log message:
wavpack: updated to 5.5.0

5.5.0:
fixed: CVE-2021-44269 (encoding crafted DSD file triggers OOB read crash)
fixed: very long filenames cause stack-overflow crash in all CLI programs
