Exactly. And it's not like FLAC is the only alternative: there're plenty of good lossless codecs: wavpack is great, TAK is really strong and probably could be considered even better than FLAC in the technical sense, but it's closed source so fuck it. There's really a lot of codecs with their pros and cons, and it's nice combination of features (good design, popularity, some hardware support) that make FLAC so great. So one more "free codec" with no mention what is it and how does it compare to the existing ones is really worth nothing. I wonder why it made it to the front page at all.
