Remarks

BASSALAC is an extension to the BASS audio library, enabling the playback of ALAC files.

ALAC is an audio codec developed by Apple Computer. It is not a variant of AAC, but a totally new lossless format which is usually wrapped into an MP4 or MOV container. The Apple Lossless Encoder was introduced as a component of QuickTime 6.5.1 on April 28th, 2004 and thus as a feature of iTunes 4.5.

The ALAC format is used in the same way as any of the built-in BASS stream formats. Simply call BASS_PluginLoad(String) to load the add-on into BASS and benefit the usage of the standard sample/stream/user functions, or call the BASS_ALAC_StreamCreateFile(String, Int64, Int64, BASSFlag) /User functions.
