Hi,
For those of you who don't know, I now have an application on pocket pc using 
flac. Live2496 does realtime encoding while recording. Live2496 typically is 
used to record a digital source using the Core Sound PDAudio device. Links are 
now on the main flac page if you are interested in learning more. 
 
I have a question. We have run across a 24-bit file that when we record it, 
flac level zero compression only results in about a 2% reduction in the file 
size. I use flac level zero because we don't have the computing power required 
for (higher level flac) realtime encoding on pocket pc's and windows CE. 

What is it about a file that would cause such a poor encoding rate?

A couple of observations:
Rectangular waves seem to encode at about 55-60% of the original size.
Muted digital sources seem to take up very little space.
