    While the subject of Fibonacci Compresssion is in the air, I
 would like to raise the general question of the efficiency of
 various compression methods on sound samples. I noticed recently
 that the usual arc/zip/lharc [ie. Huffman/LZW/Huffman Adaptive LZ]
 do not do very well.

    703811 --> 569751 Arc   Version 0.23        20%
    703811 --> 537403 LHarc Version 1.10        24%
    703811 --> 580145 Zip   Version 1.00        18%

    Is anybody aware of a better algorithm?
