Hoi,
By insisting on having flac you add a complication that does not add any
value. Why would you use FLAC when the reason for having it in the first
place is that people use the wav file in their applications.
Thanks,

Gregory's proposal to use Ogg/FLAC is not
helpfull. This is not the
format that is used to analyse pronunciation files.
Looking at Wikipedia, there don't seem to be any patent issues with
WAV. However, the format is typically used without compression, wheres
Ogg FLAC would be lossless compression. Conversion between the two is
trivial for anyone who works with audio, so in light of the fact that
we're talking about thousands of pronunciation files, it seems
reasonable to give preference to FLAC.
