FlacPak - Free lossless instrument compression
...ressing
instrument files (although its more generically a method of compressing
files containing binary and audio with most of the smarts being in the
encoder file handlers). It uses zlib for compressing the binary data and
FLAC (of course :) for compressing the audio. There is now a CVS tarball
of libInstPatch which contains a flacpak utility for compressing and
decompressing SoundFont, DLS and GigaSampler files. Already fairly good
compression has been observed and there are still several optimizations
that could be made for the current file handlers (better detection of
split stereo samples, selecting...

More FlacPak stuff
...ndle compression of files containing binary and
audio (particularly instrument files like SoundFont, DLS2, GigaSampler,
etc).
Its a rather simple format but I believe it is flexible enough. I have
not yet finalized the specification and it will likely change.
I now have a FlacPakEncoder API in the libInstPatch library (haven't
checked anything into CVS yet though), and I've written a file handler
for SoundFont files. Initial tests seem pretty good when comparing
compressed file size to other formats like sfArk. Here is a test I did
with a rather large (120MB) SoundFont containing many mono and st...
