I think the draft would be a good basis for a similar extension to
lossless encoding. However, FLAC's 8-channel limit means one would
probably need some way of trunking multiple FLAC streams together.

There's interest in this for multitrack recording as well as ambisonics,
but I think specifying it is outside the focus of this working group.
Could you bring it up with the CELLAR group, which is standardizing FLAC?
