I notice that FLAC can't handle "broadcast" WAV's in IEEE float format-- the 
native file format of Ardour and JACK, among other things. It also can't seem 
to handle 32-bit integer format either.

Right now I have to convert WAV's to 24-bit before FLAC'ing it, then when 
converting it back again I've lost those bits. It'd be more "lossless" if I 
could actually leave it in its native format (float), then FLAC it, and then 
bring it back from FLAC into its original format without loss. This'd be 
especially useful for backing up Ardour session directories.

Interestingly, Ogg Vorbis can and does handle IEEE float WAV's and 32-bit WAV's 
without any trouble at all.
