The estimation for this is fast but not very accurate, meaning we save
around 5-10% storage space. (We also don’t try other channel coupling
methods, but I am sceptical of how much benefit that actually provides.)
This encoder can handle all integer formats and sample rates, though
only two channels well. It uses fixed LPC and performs a
close-to-optimal parameter search on the LPC order and residual Rice
parameter, leading to decent compression already.
