.flac - application/flac

Why not audio/flac?

Presumedly to distinguish it from "unencapsulated" flac. I'm not sure this makes sense though. Native flac is a fairly light container, and I suspect the current application/x-flac usage is just an analogy with ogg. OTOH, I don't think anyone's done flac over rtp, where this would be needed, but that is something that's interesting.

I don't believe this should be endorsed. Academic thinking instead of pratical thinking moves us away from mainstream success.--Ivo 10:32, 8 June 2007 (PDT)
