it's unlikely flac will ever support floating-point samples natively. the main
application for it is audio engineering, which demands easy editing and very
high speed for both encoding and decoding above everything else.
flac is designed as a consumer audio format. it trades ease of editing for a
featureful, robust transport layer more suited for playback, and encoding speed
for more compression and faster decompression.
