Since it's loss-less, does it really have to care what it's compressing? Seems

easy enough to just provide "raw audio" support, where the user tells it what

sample format to expect.
Anyway, 'man flac' speaks of various options for raw files and

encoding/decoding from/to stdin/stdout, so it does seem like there would be

ways of using it on any sort of files... Haven't tried it, though. :-)
