FLAC can't work with ardour's 32-bit float files.  But Wavpack does,
and it's free/Free.  http://www.wavpack.com/

I had a look at the trunk of ardour session exchange
(it's at
http://viewcvs.ardour.org/filedetails.php?repname=Ardour&path=%2Ftrunk%2Ftools%2Fsession_exchange.py
)
... and I didn't see anything in there about using any sort of
compression.

As for ardour itself, probably the right first step would be to add
support for wavpack to libsndfile.
