I doubt that there is any engineer in the music business on this planet that would be interested in a format that takes "...hours to encode a 5-minute song..." And certainly not the record company paying for the studio time.

Indeed. But on the other hand, people who will make part of their living encoding audio will be willing to buy hardware designed to do it in a much faster timeframe. This hardware already exists for MPEG audio, and I will not be surprised to see boxes that start to allow for multiple formats. Also, encoding times will come down as the process is refined. It used to take an hour on a fast computer to encode an .mp3, whereas I can now do it faster than I can play the song in realtime.
