If I use flac with piped input it warns:
FAILURE: Compression failed (ratio 495232,432, should be < 1.0).
This happens for some files for one or more of the following reasons:
* Recompressing an existing FLAC from a higher to a lower compression setting.
* Insufficient input data (eg, very short files, < 10000 frames).
* The audio data is not compressable (eg a full range white noise signal).
Reproducible with the following command line:
flac --ignore-chunk-sizes - -o out.flac < test.wav
