That second part probably makes sense and has been a typical issue I had
with flac and bridges: Flac updates the streaminfo header once it has
done written everything => that does not work at all with live file
creation & streaming. 

The flac specs allows these item to miss, the file is still streamable
but you can’t convert it properly to wav as was requires a sample count
and I don’t think 0 is valid. 

So, depending on how the ogg-flac is generated, you might very well end
up with such files with partial streaminfo (no sample count and no MD5).
It seems then that sox does not like these and it would be better anyway
to generate raw pcm and not wav. I’ll look at that, but maybe another
rule, or a rule just using flac would be better, like an ogf flc rule.
