It's a Common Lisp program for end users and I can literally use it in 3 clicks, thanks to its AppImage (for Linux x86-64). Good (and rare) stuff!

It's also impressive to see that the audio decoding is mostly done in CL, without bindings.

Kind of, given that Common Lisp is highly influenced by Interlisp-D, Lisp Machines, so naturally it has the necessary language features for such kind of low level coding.
