Are there some (old) programs that will not accept WAVEX headers? I'm trying to 
think of why the flac utility worked this way in the first place.

In any event, it seems like it would be prudent to add a command line option to 
preserve the existing behavior, just in case anyone has archived their audio 
using FLAC and would need to maintain compatibility with the legacy WAVE 
format. It's not always possible to replace certain old programs, especially in 
recording studios.
