Support for 24 bit Apple lossless audio files

[Xenakios]

I am not sure if this request should be made to the VLC or the ffmpeg project, but I hope it's ok to ask about this here.

You have some sample files?

[Xenakios]

Here's a sample, I hope it doesn't contain something silly... It should be sounds of fireworks recorded by a pal mine :

Code: Select all

avcodec warning: FIXME: unimplemented, unhandling of wasted_bytes (alac@0249B6D0) avcodec warning: FIXME: unimplemented sample size 24 (alac@0249B6D0)

I think this is a job for avcodec devs (or maybe contrib update is needed).

Does it play with ffplay?

[VLC_help]

I tested with ffplay 15815 (13-11-08) and it doesn't play. Unfortunately Tripp doesn't offer any newr Win32 builds.
