Ummm....  I'm not sure, but I think this guy is referring to the AAC

(Advanced Audio Codec), or the MP4 codec.  This is what the quicktime

movies encode with (most of the time).... and I believe the algorithm is

available using the FAAC codec (Free Advanced Audio Codec)...  I might

be off base, but...  If that's what you're talking about when you say

"lossless" audio codec, then yes - Linux already has an implimentation.
