@ saratoga: Thanks.  I've already found this page but not read quite carefully to find it out.
Sorry for my poor English, I'm trying to get better... ;)

Hi!

Does anyone know if FFMPEG and/or AVLIB's ALAC encoder is the reference implementation released by Apple in october 2011, or do they still use a reverse engineered one from pre-2011?

(yes, I know about the "refalac"-encoder, but that one is Windows only.)



XLD // ALAC // OGG VORBIS

refalac works with Wine.

ffmpeg does not use reference implementations in general, so I doubt they would ever do this.
