Are there any plans to support other output formats than raw images?
No, really.
AFF is a segmented format which supports compression, encryption and
signing. Using it instead of raw images could significantly reduce the
size of output images if the disk contents is compressible.
It is not possible to compress data out of order. Even if you compress
each cluster or sector separately as they are read, you can't store
them in a single file in order because you can't know how much space
will require each compressed gap in the file corresponding to the
sectors being skipped.
