WavPack supports 32-bit floating point WAV file compression, which is
the native format of Ardour.  FLAC doesn't support 32-bit floating
point WAV file compression.

The history of SoX is that it supports conversion between just about
anything and anything else.  Leaving out X because it already
supports Y seems counter to this.
