> It sounds significantly better than lossy audio.
Lossy audio can be completely transparent. If you disagree, you need to provide some objective evidence, because all objective evidence points in favour of good lossy compression being indistinguishable from lossless at sensible bitrates.
Look, I've no problem with LAME being supported, but don't make it out to be "significant" in terms of sound quality. Try AAC at 256kbps (what iTunes Store has used for the past decade) or better yet, Opus. Do a serious blinded test and amaze yourself with the results.
