## bonk-0.6p0 – lossy/lossless audio coder

## Description

    Bonk is a high quality audio compression program.  It can operate in
    either lossless or lossy mode.  In lossless mode, the exact original
    WAV file can be recovered from the compressed file.  In lossy mode,
    some information is discarded in the compressed file, yielding a much
    higher compression ratio.  The information discarded is perceptually
    unimportant, and the result should be a *perceptually* lossless encoding.
    Bonk can compress some types of sounds more than others, so the actual
    bit-rate achieved varies.

    Bonk differs from most existing lossy coders in that it does not
    use a Fourier transform to analyse the audio.  Instead it uses a
    linear predictor (as used in speech compression) with a very high tap
    count.
