WavPack might fit the bill. It has decent software support. Not sure if DAWs can use it natively, they might unpack it to a temp folder.

Reaper does. Unfortunately, WavPack has a bit too much performance overhead.


It's a 20 year old format.

ZStandard is a very good compressor, with an especially fast decompressor. Maybe someone should try using this instead of zlib in an audio format (FLAC, WavPack, ...)


I mean, is there really a need for utilizing ZStd for audio compression?

FLAC is extremely good at compression audio, has very fast encode and uber fast decode. It also doesn't use zlib...
