I seem to recall from 1.3.0 that there was an issue with the encoder string (for
instance "reference LibFLAC 1.3.1 20141125"). I believe this is set at
various locations which are also platform dependent and in 1.3.0 some places
initially still contained the old version.

Unless this was simplified in the mean time and I missed that, it would be
useful to test if the resulting flac files on the various platforms report the
correct version.
