0.3.21 is an old version that supported old plugins and it is kept there until all plugins are updated to support 0.4+ versions, use 0.6.0 if you are not using old plugins.

I picked codecs based on the information provided here, it's not that I haven't tried wavpack. I did but it requires additional code as it generates lossy wav and a patch file in case you wanted to restore the original pcm data whereas flac does not. In addition, it doesn't seem to be thread safe which means it cannot work in xtool environment (maybe I'm mistaking it with tta).

That's pretty much how it is intended to work, wav files are scanned within files and then fed to codecs.

That is optional feature with extra switches, by default it work same as flac - no lossy wav. As for thread safety, I believe its single threaded app so could be used chunk per thread but I don't know for sure.
I am also perfectly ok with flac as well so don't worry about it, I just though this one may have been better due to more formats supported.
