FLAC 1.2.1 preserves every chunk perfectly/precisely, except for the 'fmt ' chunk. This is from an e-mail exchange with Josh in September 2007. This doesn't matter to most people but, unfortunately, messes up the ".amb" format used for Ambisonic B-Format. The ".amb" format is a standard WAVE-EX file except that it uses a non-standard GUID in the SubFormat field of the 'fmt ' chunk. (Two GUIDs have been registered for this use, for integer and floating-point.) WavPack preserves the GUID perfectly.
