hello gang

i'm about to start encoding lots of data (i.e. a 160 GB HDD full of wav 
files), and i'm having last minute hesitations about using a fairly new 
encoding program (flac).

how much validation has been done on flac? in other words, apart from "it 
works", how can i trust that i'm not going to lose my data?  i have seen at 
least one bug in the bug db where flac seems to produce erroneous files.  do 
you guys have regression tests?  how many, what data?

thanks,
