There is no distinct rule about who should send reports to upstream. I 
can do that, of course, but if you happen to have a sourceforge 
account yourself, you might so it as well. Please note, however, that 
upstream seems to be dead for years and hasn't ever answered to any of 
my bug reports.

No, sure not. But it shows that at least the flac shared library is 
capable to encode audio data with rather "exotic" properties.

The feature (i.e. transcoding and encoding at once) is already there, 
it is merely not available for audio data with exotic properties. I 
think the right thing to do will be to extend the command line tool, 
instead of removing the feature.
