There would also be a benefit for a standard for encoding compression into the waveform. That way a single file could be used for playback in both environments and the compression artistically controlled by the producers. (The single file is needed not just to save space, but to avoid double royalty payments.) However, doing this would not solve the problem since the loudness wars could continue unabated, albeit in a slightly different direction with new technology. As an extreme example, suppose that CDs used a floating point encoding with 64 bit IEEE format. I can imagine a race to military sound levels, and then beyond to astronomical scale. In a decade or so of marketplace "competition" encoded levels would be such that their correct reproduction would require enough headroom to execute another "big bang". Hence the need for defensive measures that will make it in the producer's interest to avoid the loudness war.
