Olav,

A change like this could easily break the format. That would be a bad choice.

On the other hand, an informational 'application' block could be added in a way that does not break the format, and this would even be backwards compatible since 'application' blocks have always been a part of the specification. You simply won't be able to rely on them being there.

This next is a feature request: Today it is not possible to know the encoding of a flac archive. Many new devices support playback of flac, however tiny processors sometimes have a hard time decoding files with the default encoding of -5 or higher, resulting in unstable playback or even reduced audio quality. A re-encoding to -0 often solve these issues. Can you look at a way to store parameters used for encoding in an archive so we can check it later?
