Once it's in FLAC, it can be converted to either aiff or wav, and it doesn't matter if the FLAC was sourced from wav or aiff. That's the beauty of it--Windows users and Mac users can convert any FLAC to their systems' default uncompressed audio format for burning CDs or editing/processing, and then upload, say, a remaster in FLAC that anyone can make use of.
