I'm not sure why "compression code" - I think this is 
just the WAV format subtype where 1 is 16-bit PCM 
and 3 is IEEE floating point.  But that's from my 
usually unreliable memory.

I think that's just what a 16-bit WAV file is.  (The 
complaint here is about the input file to FLAC, which is 
uncompressed WAV - hence why "compression code" is 
weird and confusing.)

Sounds like the packager will either need an 
intermediate step of converting to 16-bit (tedious and 
would need a warning dialog) or will need to not use 
FLAC on 32-bit files... or will need a 32-bit capable 
FLAC encoder, assuming the format supports it 
internally.  What a pain.  I'm not in a position to 
research this at the moment though, there may be a 
simple fix besides switching RG back to 16-bit output.

Well, I can understand why you wanted to do that, 
but to be honest I don't think saving your work in a 
directory guaranteed to be lost on a crash is a very 
good idea whatever.  (If you don't actually want the 
particular properties of /tmp, why save there?
You could always create ~/scratch/ or something.)  I don't think RG can be 
blamed for that part. 

It does make the packager really useless though.
