That's more what I was thinking, bzip or lzma, How well supported are
these on windows or osx? I haven't used win for 6 years or so..

Well, wavpack is also designed for lossless audio. If the whole .gig is
compressed as such then I'd use a generic format, maybe .xz aka. lzma2.
wavpack only has 'raw-pcm' options which obviously refer to pcm data.
I don't know how .gig works and whether the samples and the
meta-information can be split/joined easily. Probably not worth the
trouble.

not sure if wavpack compresses arbitrary binaries.
wavpack is BSD licensed, it's just not as
well known as flac.
wavpack does support 32bit float while flac doesn't afaik, and
there are some more differences but it may not matter in this
case. Both are lossless and free.
Does this help?
