There is a space vs processing consideration. Send data in WAV rather
than Flac will means there are at least 2 times as many data packets
being received with twice as many TCP/IP protocol actions and buffer
manipulations. So there could be significant CPU usage to handle this
doubling of data.

Which format requires least amount of CPU will depend on many factors
and issues such as whether the code has been optimised to "prefer"
receiving a compressed data format (e.g. MP3, AAC, Flac) rather than
WAV (e.g. expect to processed data and do a copy while decompressing)
may be a factor.
