But it doesn't tell me that the sample rate is invalid it tells
me FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_STREAM_ENCODER_ERROR or
FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_NOT_STREAMABLE.

OK, from reading the documentation, FLAC is limited to 8 channels
and sample rates other than 11025. However, if I try to create a 
file with too many channels I get an error of

   FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_INVALID_NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS

which is fine. If I try to create a file at a sample rate of
11025 I get an error of 

    FLAC__SEEKABLE_STREAM_ENCODER_STREAM_ENCODER_ERROR or
    FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_NOT_STREAMABLE

which says nothing about the sample rate.
