True | BlackDebbie | null | "have a point"?
The two baseless speculations you made are 100% false.
1- FLAC is amongst the easiest of codecs to decode. 12 Mhz on an ARM7!! It's been this easy since before there was an iPod!
2 - It wouldn't be a "fork" of FLAC to add DRM anymore than it was a "fork" of AAC to add DRM. You wrap the codec in a ... | null | 0 | 1319853975 | False | 0 | c2vbqe1 | t3_lrp9c | null | t1_c2vbqe1 | t1_c2v8e3y | null | 1427798228 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | [deleted] | null | Uh, your compiler does plenty of "how" too. 3+n is preferable to load and add machine instructions in most cases. "New" is often just bscuration. You like GC, right?

True | BlackDebbie | null | FLAC and ALAC take less CPU time than any lossy audio codec.
APE and the other uncommon symmetric codecs are a different story, but all the main lossless codecs (FLAC, ALAC, WAVPAK, TAK) are able to be decoded in realtime on an abacus.
