Hi, Does anyone know of a technical reason why FLAC cannot support 88.2 Khz files? I have a reason to uses this rate since it is easy to perform quality conversions from 24 bit 88.1 Khz master files (stored as flac files) to 16 bit 44.1 khz files for CD mastering purposes. I suppose I could Kludge the wav files so that they were half speed wav files at 44.1 khz and then hand the over to Flac, but I would rather have a cleaner method.

It isn'tone of the 'native' sample rates in the frame headers, but you can fall back on an arbitrary value in the streaminfo chunk. Does passing in an 88.2 kHz wav not work? -r
I have successfully compressed 96kHz files in the past. What error message do you see? Are you sure that your files are correctly formatted? Some of my audio programs write out files that have format errors at 24-bit, and I have been forced to correct the errors in the files before FLAC will accept them.
