ALAC files are not recognized as "Lossless" files by rhythmbox 3.4.4
It seems there was a common understanding about Quality/Bitrate inconsistency between 2 major lossless formats : FLAC and ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) :
#1696 (closed) (see the comment "yes")
There was a fix commited for rhythmbox 3.4.4 (I'm no expert in the commit system but I see a tag "v3.4.4")
but I see no difference today with rhythmbox 3.4.4 / Ubuntu 20.10 (and I'm not sure to understand the effect expected).
So let's try to narrow the problem : ALAC files are not recognized as "Lossless" files by rhythmbox.
