On this note, is there any way to ask the current version of flac to create a file that is backwards compatible with an older version of flac? I suppose one possibility is to go back into the archives and grab an older version of flac, then use that to compress everything. The trouble then becomes how to determine which version of the decoder your hardware implements, so that you can make sure your flac files are not too "new" for the hardware.
