@fob014 I don't want to discourage you from giving input on FOSS projects, but here's a few things that are bad on this issue:

• Title is generic and doesn't differentiate this issue from any other.
• Issues are supposed to be focused on a single thing. As FLAC and Vorbis are different formats they should be separate.
• FLAC support is already mentioned by #30, mentioning it here as well only makes it harder for the maintainer to manage their issues. Before creating issues on projects do a quick search for keywords and react to issues you think are important - that is enough to let the author know which issues are more wanted by the community.

To improve this issue I suggest you rename it to something like "Support for Vorbis (ogg)" and remove description as the title is enough to describe what you want.

EDIT: 2 years later I find my old self sounding like an LLM trained on preachy reddit responses. Although I do still think all my points are valid.

up, we definitely need them both.

FLAC format support task has very low priority. Might consider adding it, but not in near future.

@Dimowner I wonder what let to the decision to use WAVE over FLAC in the first place. Broader out-of-the-box device support?
