- Support for multi-channel audio. While the stream format supports up to 16 channels, the codec currently is restricted to a maximum of 6 channels

- Support for the "Wave Format Extensible" file format

- Encoding speed improvements of up to 10 percent for my primary file set. Most of it is achieved by a modification of the algorithm which selects the optimal predictor order for each subframe. It will now often use less predictors than before, what may on

- Decoding speed improvements of up to 18 percent for my primary file set. Some of it is attributed to the above-noted modification of the encoder's predictor order selection algorithm. Therefore it will only take effect when decoding files encoded with thi

- The wave file reader reported an error if a file contained additional (meta) data following the audio data

- The wave file writer didn't add an optional zero byte to make the audio data chunk size a multiple of 2. This was only relevant when decoding mono audio with 8- or 24-bit samples without restoring the wave meta data (-wm0 applied on encoding and/or decodi
