WavPack DSD compression #450

Open Plamper opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently when converting DSD files with the Wavpack encoder they get converted to 24bit/352,8 kHz PCM, which increases disk usage and is AFAIK lossy.

Describe the solution you'd like Since WavPack supports DSD compression natively it would be good to have the option to turn off the conversion to PCM before encoding. Just like using WavPack from command line does it as default.
