#2Tip for those who are looking at the compression ratios thinking "so what?": look at the run-times. It's a minimum of 3x faster than its contemporaries.

According to the author, right? Those results aren't backed up by Porcus's comments in that thread.

#5I love how some announcements of developments still occur in good old-fashioned forums; it really warms my heart to see that. Kudos to the author for the hard work!

It seems the world made a collective yawn about flac. Hard to imagine that would change much with a new format.
I personally keep everything in flac, but Bandcamp is seemingly the only service where that is a given.

#8For what looks at first glance to be a potentially impactful development, this post and the "encode.su" one linked from it are extremely sparse on details.
Where is the source code? A detailed description of what the codec actually does? References to relevant publications?
All I see are two mystery Windows binaries, hosted on a forum I've never heard about. The fact that "encode.su" uses the world's most notorious domain extension doesn't inspire confidence, to put it mildly.

Ok, but what would make that useful?

FLAC level 5 encode times should be WAY longer than decode times. FLAC level 0 to FLAC level 5 is a huge step up and encoding should be way longer (like factor of 3). Under no circumstances should FLAC level 5 decode be faster than FLAC level 0 decode.
These are basic sanity checks.
Something is wrong in the benchmark.
