The equivalent AU file is very slightly smaller (but who still uses the =
AU
format?). The smallest RA files are less than 20% of the size of an 8-bit
WAV sampled at 6 kHz. I got the starling song down to 21,876 bytes in
RealAudio 2.0 format (8Kbps), compared with 108,416 for the high-quality
RealAudio version (40Kbps) and 476,384 for the 8-bit 22 kHz WAV. (Size of
the high-quality original: 1,905,116.)
