[Flac-users] MD5 digest doesn't match

I can't figure out how to verify flac md5 signatures. The docs say flac
does an md5 over the unencoded audio data, but I can't reproduce it. I'm
using flac 1.0.2 and Ron Rivest's reference md5 implementation.

$ md5 temp.wav
MD5 (temp.wav) = a7c92c4a656b2be2582f77c51b68a623

$ flac temp.wav
$ metaflac temp.flac
file: temp.flac
METADATA block #0
...
  MD5 signature: b315969d432443845ce93eac8355534b
...

$ flac -d -c temp.flac | md5
...
a7c92c4a656b2be2582f77c51b68a623

Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
steven.
