Have a look at test/test_streams.sh script from flac package.

If your decoder has a command line interface and can output to raw
data, modify the script in way that your decoder will be used for
decoding. I know, overkill, but then you can be pretty sure that it is
decoding well.

At least try to decode files encoded with -1, ..., -8 options.
