Alligning Sector boundries

I have a show that I have transferred to WAV from analog cassette using the original machine the show was recorded with and the recorder in EAC. Following the criteria of the torrent regs I chose the option to allign sector boundries when converting to FLAC. When I did this Flac frontend noted that pieces of the preceding file was carried over to the next track and when completed had several spare samples that were then put in another track (at least that's what the program said) when I played back the FLAC files, the only noticeable difference between the flac and the original wav file is that the flac doesn't play back as hot as the source wav. To clarify my two questions:

1) when alligning sector boundries is it normal for bits to be carried over to the next track?

2) Should the flac file sound identical to the wav file or is the loss of power normal?
