WAV has a header but is limited to 32 bit size fields (max. 4 GB); W64 expands this limit.

FLAC is losslessly compressed.
Thanks. Thing is, .mkv is just an intermediate stage for me: eventually everything gets muxed to an .m2ts container again. So, it kinda needs to stay LPCM (for which I then use the good old Pcm2Tsmu, to get tsMuxer to accept it).
