The IESG has received a request from the Codec Encoding for LossLess
Archiving and Realtime transmission WG (cellar) to consider the following
document: - 'Free Lossless Audio Codec'
  <draft-ietf-cellar-flac-11.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-09-27. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This document defines the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) format and
   its streamable subset.  FLAC is designed to reduce the amount of
   computer storage space needed to store digital audio signals without
   losing information in doing so (i.e., lossless).  FLAC is free in the
   sense that its specification is open and its reference implementation
   is open-source.  Compared to other lossless (audio) coding formats,
   FLAC is a format with low complexity and can be coded to and from
   with little computing resources.  Decoding of FLAC has seen many
   independent implementations on many different platforms, and both
   encoding and decoding can be implemented without needing floating-
   point arithmetic.
