[SoX-users] [RFC/PATCH] Initial FLAC Support

[Jason L. <ja...@ae...>]

This is my initial attempt at FLAC support in SoX. Keep in mind that
this is the first time I've written anything for either SoX or using the
FLAC library. However, I needed FLAC support in SoX for another
application, and thus I worked on this patch.

Right now, I'm more or less requesting comments. While it seems to work
well for my limited use case, I'm sure there are nasty bugs waiting to
be discovered. In particular, it may not handle FLAC errors very well,
and for all I know, it may violate some SoX coding standard or
convention. In addition, there are a few remaining TODO or FIXME style
comments that indicate things that I believe may need completion or fixing.

With any luck, the patch wasn't mangled in the process. After applying
it, the configure script needs to be regenerated.
