If GStreamer has a plugin that can encode CAF, you can make a pipeline for
that easily (alternatively, avconv might do as well; though in that case
GStreamer should be able to, via gst-libav). The advantage here is that
there's no inherent duration/size limitation within the pipeline.

If that won't work, you might be able to feed a separate CAF encoder, if it
accepts data from stdin, but in that case it is very likely to trip over
some limit (like 4GB or some other WAV-y thing; most of the time these
kinds of tools expect RIFF WAV as input).

Either way, it's not FLAC that's the problem here.
