Sorry Sean the files will come out about the same. It does recognize
essentially zero net new content. A huffman code scheme would do it.
I did flac to flac to assure it's using the same version of flac.
I did flac to 24bit wav to flac (same compression level default 5).
They are nearly identical in size.
24bit (27.25MB 8 LSBs are zero)
16bit (27.19MB)
Used dbpoweramp reference 13.2 with it's built in flac. Older versions
of flac a couple years back yielded the same results.
