*signed int vlc (needs only 5 lines of code so its no increase of complexity) *moving subpacket shuffle type to the header *encoding packet timestamps as signed difference from the msb_timestamp this is more flexible & cleaner *optionally storing the keyframe flag for subpackets (in RLE) *storing the timestamps differences for subpackets (in RLE) *storing the signed differences of subpacket sizes instead of unsigned diff from some base size *more compact encoding of common name/type for info packets *removing fixed entries at the start of info packets (simpler) *removing stuffing packet (uneeded, vlc itself allows padding) *fixing sample code
