An additional question: what happens if you re-encode a FLAC file, that
gives the error message 'ERROR, MD5 signature mismatch' while trying to
decode to WAV, to another FLAC file using a later version of the FLAC
encoder? I tried this and it seems to work, but I'm wondering if the audio
data is still the same in the new file as in the old file?  Or what happens
in the re-encode process when such a input FLAC file is re-encoded to
another FLAC file?

thx in advance!

thx
