I'm the author of that program. It hasn't been updated for a while for two reasons: 1) It does everything I want it to do; and 2) I don't have any spare time to work on it.

DVD-Audio discs can either have uncompressed LPCM audio (similar to WAV files), or audio compressed using the $2500 "MLP" lossless encoder (similar to FLAC).

My program can take FLAC files as input, but it uncompresses them and writes them to the DVD-Audio disc as uncompressed audio. So you don't gain space on the DVD - it's purely a convenience feature meaning that you don't have to uncompress the files yourself before creating the DVD-A disc.
