I completely agree, but it remains a real-world situation where the FLAC
compression level matters. /Why/ it matters when it /shouldn't/ is
certainly a valid question.

Seems to me that there's a lot of stuff out there being sold by lazy
manufacturers who do the bare minimum necessary to be able to claim
their item has a particular feature without actually bothering to
implement it properly. Anyone who's dealt with this kind of thing in the
past will instinctively know that the affected Acura audio systems are
also unable to produce gapless playback. 70 years after the introduction
of the Long Playing record, gapless is still frequently prohibited by
set-in-stone hardware limitations. But hey, it “streams”!

Apologies for a bit of topic drift. This kind of thing has been a sore
point for a long time.
