Perhaps a little more than that, since the sizes I listed were after 
stripping out the padding and all metadata blocks except SEEKTABLE and 
STREAMINFO.

Thank you.  I'll do that.  What, though, are the "non-Subset
files" that
the description of the --lax option allows?

That was over my head -- not the post, but the information at that URL.
   Does it mean that a non-Subset FLAC file isn't streamable, that a
decoder can't read successive parts of the FLAC file and generate
successive parts of the WAV?

search for "subset" on http://flac.sf.net/format.html
(I'll make a link in the documentation to it).
