Yeah, but there are allready the 'fast', 'high' and 'veryhigh' options, all 
for lossless encoding.
The feature we're talking about is only available when recording in the float 
format, though I like your suggestion!
But 2 comboboxes with compression options might be confusing :D

Quoting the author:

"This option reduces the storage of some floating-point data files by up to 
about 10% by eliminating some 
information that has virtually no effect on the audio data. While this does 
technically make the compression 
lossy, it retains all the advantages of floating point data (>600 dB of 
dynamic range, no clipping, and 25 bits 
of resolution). This also affects large integer compression by limiting the 
resolution to 24 bits."


Hmmm, perhaps 2 radio buttons with your suggestion, with just the 'standard 
lossless' and 'almost lossless' ?
