As part of the Windows Media 9 series, Microsoft introduced Windows Media Audio Lossless in early 2003, a lossless audio format sharing the .wma file extension as its lossy counterparts. It is designed to store a digital audio stream (such as a CD-Audio track) at some fraction of the original. Each sample in a channel can be encoded at up to 24 bits, at a rate of 96 KHz, with up to 6 discrete channels (for 5.1 surround sound). The container is also said to have dynamic range compression control. Like WMA Pro, the WMA Lossless decoder can perform downmixing when capable audio hardware is not present.[citation needed] While the details of the format have never been publicly documented, it has been reverse-engineered for use on non-Microsoft platforms by the open source FFmpeg project.[1]
