I compared by converting both to raw PCM (with sox) and compared those 
instead because I wasn't particularly interested header info 
preservation.  I only cared about the samples.  Turns out that the same 
samples were in both, in the right order, and the number of the samples 
were the same (in fact the raw PCM files were identical), so I concluded 
that FLAC did right by me and now I use FLAC.
