Feel free to disregard my opinion.  But since you asked.
Quicktime is a quick and dirty group of applications that replace
having to build a real html. That may not be true, but it is the
perception. You are above it and I don't recommend it for you.

If you want to go off standard, posting in flac would be a statement,
but it should only be done with a mp3 option.  Standard audio formats
change, and a frog is a frog.  Right now, that frog is mp3 for
compressed audio.  Quicktime only serves the weak designer and not
the net.  Maybe next year it will change, but I don't see it this
year.
