Actually I think the flac encoder DOES support 32-bit -- however it supports 32-bit INTEGERS rather than 32-bit Floats...

Apparently MC is compatible with the more common "32-bit float type 3"  format (the default in many pro audio editors, e.g. in Adobe Audition), but not with one or more other float formats. I tried "32-bit float type 1" and it behaved exactly like you described. The Wavpack format can store 32-bit float content and possibly has nothing to do with the problem. MC can play "32-bit float type 3" Wavpack files without problems.

32-bit float in general is not compatible with FLAC. The FLAC encoder supports only integer bit depths up to 24-bit.

Where did you get a source file like that Alex? I played all of the samples in the wavpack test suite successfully (after adding the 32 bit int format).

It looks like our encoder goes up to 24.

I created the files with Adobe Audition. I'll prepare some samples for you...

Regarding 32-bit FLAC here is a Hydrogen Audio thread that may be interesting: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=83520

Thanks, that discussion was really interesting and illuminating...
