Youtube simply does not accept lossless audio in a video (at all). You 
have to encode according to their specifications. They explicitly say to 
use AAC in .mov containers, so do not use anything else as it will be 
not be accepted.

You can only upload lossless audio (as .wav or .flac) as extra language 
for an existing uploaded video, this lossless audio will be converted to 
a lossy format by Youtube that will fit the videostream (usually AAC or 
Opus).
