I assume you mean a combination of general purpose lossless compression
& audio lossless compression? Otherwise just tar.xz or whatever should
be easy enough. In case you want the lossless audio compression I'd say
use wavpack, because it can handle float formats as well.
I've never done such a thing, but I guess you could do it like this:
give the project dir as argument, then it searches through it for wav
files by extension or maybe using 'file' or something, compress those
using wavpack, then compress the whole dir using .xz or whatever.
To decompress, decompress the .xz, search for .wv and decompress those.

I might be missing something.
