What I meant to say was that maybe 24 bit files with sample rates 
 >44100 are not designated by the legacy WAVE file format type 1. But 
I am not sure about this, either.

I am tempted to say that resampling of WAVE files with these 
properties is not the purpose of the flac command line tool, but you 
may disagree. And even if so, I think this bug is something that 
deserves the attention of the upstream developers and shouldn't focus 
on the Debian package. I am not familiar with the code in question, 
but I believe that adding this feature might require some profound 
code changes.

However, as a workaround, I'd like to ask you to try again with other 
sound converters that use libflac in order to exclude that the library 
itself is at fault, e.g. audacity or even sndfile-convert of the 
sndfile-programs package.
