Unfortunately, I can't find how to pass special FLAC parameters to that 
encoder.  I use very aggressive settings (basically the limit of 
what "streamable FLAC" allows) to save HD space w/o loss of quality.  
Instead of the normal 20%-30% savings by using FLAC instead of wav, I get 
an average of 50%.
