I thought, that PCM (that is the signal to which the flac is converted, as indicated by the server) was constant bitrate with a given bit length and frequency.

However, Andy wrote at one point, that the opinion of one of his customers (who DID actual tests...) was "FUD". I would not write like that about my customers, even though I am a fairly recognized expert in my professional domain, too...
