Thanks.

Compression levels are always highly dependent on the source material. This
particular test was added to test for the most gross kind of regressions
like the one I fixed in fc360735ce4d1aa88a94bfccdd3bea5bdd19a8d6.

When and if we come to update/improve FLAC's core compression code, that
is when we would need a more comprehensive test for compressed file sizes.

At this point, I think what we have is sufficient.

Cheers,
Erik
