<p>Isn't the FLAC encoder 'tuned' for the compression of audio data
at common sample rates anyway? Does it make sense to use FLAC to
compress arbitrary analog data at very high sample rates as
opposed to other general purpose compression algorithms?</p>

<div>Probably not the answer that you were hoping for, but
because it is only for research purposes, why not store the
samplerate outside of the container, or in the comments as
metadata? The FLAC encoder doesn't care what samplerate your
material is, it just stores it for easy playback. You can
store 10MHz information, tell the FLAC encoder it is 48kHz,
and add a tag samplerate=10000000 or even samplerate=10MHz,
whatever your processing scripts accept.<br>

<div>As you are clearly using FLAC for something it wasn't
made for, that doesn't seem like a very big workaround to
me?</div>
