Expected Behavior

• ALAC files should display their correct bitrate (as reported by tools like FFmpeg or ExifTool).
• ALAC files should not cause the application to crash when played.
• ReplayGain tags should be recognized just like with other formats.

Current Behavior

• ALAC files always report incorrect bitrate.
• Waveform generator fails when playing ALAC and causes the app to crash due to native segfault in the Amplituda waveform library.
• ReplayGain tags not recognized.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Load the ALAC file from the link into the library.

2. Check its bitrate in the app.
3. Compare with FFmpeg or ExifTool output.
4. Observe that the waveform doesn't generate anything and crashes the app occasionally.
