As the title says, I want to be able to compress .iff sound in a way that can do more than the 50% reduction delta compression offers.

I'm going to implement this so it fits within the 8SVX structure, and with decoding can be played back the same as any other 8SVX sound. I'm thinking it would be best to apply some kind of compression on top of delta compression, rather than an entirely different thing.

For performance, it must be able to be decoded in real time at 20KHz sample rate on an Amiga with a 68000.

Does anyone know a suitable compression algorithm I could use to make this possible? Thanks.
