[Discuss-gnuradio] compressed_file_sink/source?

[Dan Halperin]

Has anyone explored inserting a compression algorithm before a file_sink 
 or a file_source? I made a gzip_file_sink, but it just can't keep up 
at low decimation rates. Are there good compression libs that anyone 
would recommend instead?

Similarly, has anyone explored writing a MATLAB script that can load 
compressed data? The only thing I could find was to gunzip and then load 
it normally, but that defeats the whole purpose. The other option would 
be to write a MATLAB module in c that linked with zlib (or implement 
gzip decompression myself in MATLAB), but those both seem to be pretty 
awful solutions.

Thanks!
