Hi Justin,

Are you saying that 24-bit support does not work for you? 
Which  
version of FLAC are you using?  What platform?  What kind of
files  
are you trying to compress?

I am not any kind of official spokesperson for FLAC, but
this alleged  
report about 24-bit problems surfaced in Aug 2006.  However,
I have  
been successfully using 24-bit FLAC since June of 2004, and
I have  
never seen a single problem.  The largest FLAC-compressed
files are  
69% of the original 24-bit file, and I have never seen one
end up  
larger than the original.  In other words, I have never been
able to  
reproduce the problem.  I have recorded about 90 live shows
in 24-bit  
format, up to 18 channels multitrack, and have successfully 

compressed over 75 GB of 24-bit audio with absolutely no
errors.

Why would you tell people to use WavPack when FLAC is
flawless?
