Have you considered OggPCM? Perhaps it has a constant enough bitrate while
still providing rich tags. Not sure how well supported it is though...

don't support stream convolving, but just can read
files.
Interesting project...
One thing: when skipping forward (or seeking in general)
there's no need to convolve all data up to that point.
If P is the new position and L is the lenght of the IR,
then just call Convproc->reset(), seek the input file to
P - L (or 0 if P < L), and convolve up to P. You're
computing a FIR filter, so no more history is required.
On the filesystem level, I don't 'see' seeks to audio frame positions but
_only_ file positions. Since the input and the output is a compressed flac
file, the relationship cannot be predicted - this is why I have to walk up
to that point to present a consistent view of the file (in particular if
that file is mmap()ed or if users jump around in it, this is important).
(this would be different if input and output was wav
where the
relationship is clear; but wav doesn't provide such a rich header
format,
so that the user in media server that display tags and images would be bad).
If the seek involves an output discontinuity for the user,
you could even just call Conproc->reset(), seek to P, and
proceed normally. The result will be as if there was only
silence before P.
