Perhaps update the codec to handle 32 bit files while remaining the same
otherwise?

Hello,
I have proposed to WebM to use FLAC in a future version. Since FLAC was
designed a decade ago, I was wondering if there were any new compression
techniques that FLAC could use in a new version to improve compression
ratios.
If so, it would be worth synchronising with WebM for compatibility reasons.
Here's the WebM discussion:

Best regards,
James Haigh.

The short answer is yes, but for it to be work promoting a new standard,
you really want to do *significantly* better than flac, like lossless at
half the file size. That's a lot harder than an extra 10% or 20%
compression. A great research project, in other words, but I think we'd
do better to concentrate resources on improving support for the existing
flac format which is very widely adopted.
