Thanks for the summary Robert, very helpful, cleared some things for me. But what to do when the MD5 refuses to match, what could be causing this, what should I check?

I did the test (recorded a short WAV file, encoded it to FLAC and verified the checksum) and repeated the encoding/verification 10-15 times but get the same error every time.

Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm a bit lost here.
