I'm experiencing the same issue.
Specifying raw output for sox and explicit format options for flac encorder seems to work:
flac -s -d -c $IN | sox - -S -D -r $SAMPLE_RATE -b $BPS -t raw -e signed-integer - | flac -s -8 -o $OUT --endian=little --channels=2 --sign=signed --bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 -
Though it adds some limitations (e.g. you'll have to add a seektable manually after encoding) because flac doesn't know size of the input.
