I don't see any source code, but you're welcome to post it if you find it.

No one here is going to waste their time asking this guy to provide a decoder for some random format no one uses.  If you want it, you're going to have to get a decoder, port it, etc.  Since its apparently been 10 years and this guy is still making it impossible to support his format on portable devices, I'm guessing hes going to tell you to go away anyway.

Well, I'm looking at several different .cpp, .c, and .h extension files (I believe they are used for C/C++ source, if I'm looking up the right resources) when I'm going through the files in the .zip here.  I suggest checking the plugin and test folders.  I could be completely wrong, since my knowledge of programming is zippo, but hey, whatever helps development.

Yeah, theres no decoder source in there, just a bunch of DLLs that can't be used outside of x86 PCs. 

dreamlayers:
It seems OptimFROG is slow. In this benchmark, OptimFROG default decoding speed is similar to Monkey's Audio extra high. It wouldn't be useful on most targets. On anything which can decode it, the increased CPU power consumption would shorten battery life. I'd love to have better lossless compression, but the benefits of OptimFROG don't seem worthwhile on portable devices.
