gollark: DFPWM? You can, LionRay does it and there's some simple C implementation.
gollark: Tape drive DFPWM en/decoding already occurs out of game, so that doesn't apply.
gollark: It would have been smarter to just use Opus for sound encoding, but DFPWM is... simpler, I guess?
gollark: Mostly no, as there are better codecs for "real" use.
