Converting a BWF/BW64 master to FLAC and then Ogg Opus: which metadata and channel information does each format's standard give a place for, and which has none?

Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S10, S7, S8, S9 rest on the producer's pinned reading. BW64 carries bext and ADM (chna links tracks to ADM IDs), FLAC can carry Vorbis comments and foreign RIFF/W64/AIFF chunks in application blocks, and Ogg Opus carries Vorbis-style comments with R128 gains and a different channel order; no standard read defines a mapping of bext TimeReference or ADM chna into FLAC or Opus, so preservation of that metadata is tool-specific (producer synthesis, not executed). Curator qualifications: Partially verified: the curator re-read none of the cited sources; S10, S7, S8, S9 rest on the producer's pinned reading. Curator GET 2026-10-23 of the sources not re-read (mechanical source evidence, not semantic verification): S10: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S7: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S8: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin; S9: HTTP 200, bytes equal to the producer pin. Zero-fetch review 2026-10-22 against held readbacks; no audio measured. BS.2088-2 axml/bxml/sxml conversion excerpt not matched in held PDF text. Limitations: Zero-fetch review 2026-10-22 against held readbacks; no audio measured. Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
