[Flac-dev] corrupt/invalid wav

I am pretty sure it's a flac bug, not a problem
with your wav.  the -p option is causing the
problem. -p drastically increases the runtime
and only improves the compression by a tiny
bit, which is why it is only turned on in -9.

until the bug is fixed it is safer to not use
-p (but -V will catch any errors -p causes).
