2) Question: Can you make an audio CD from FLAC filesIf you convert it back to wav or use a burning software which converts it back to bitstream on the fly, yes. Otherwise no. The CD standard defines what an audio CD is. And that's different from data CDs. A CD with .mp3s or .flacs copied over is a data CD. Of course you can do that. Question is which player can make use of it? Not an audio CD player. But some sort of computer which reads the CD as data CD and plays files which format it knows. Probably devices like Blue-ray players can handle such disks. But for BD players and Surround Receivers it's usually better to save such .flac and .mp3 on a stick or a NAS and play it from there.
Another thing worth to mention is there exist highres .flac formats up to 96kHz (IIRC) sampling rate and 24 bit resolution. You never can save such files on audio CDs without loosing some information. But you can play it on a proper Surround Receiver or BD player.
Flac - IIRC I use it with -5 although I do not know what it means. Probably processing power versus shrink rate.
