Why not just send raw PCM?

Raw files are like raw bacon. They taste shit and look like they're poisonous.

Why not just ask them what format they want?

if they just asked for "lossless" without a filetype, then I don't think so
they can convert it into FLAC if they want anyway

It still shows you as a fucking moron. There is zero difference in quality between FLAC and WAV. So using 3x the network resources to send the same fucking thing is dumb as hell.
