(who supplied the patch to add it) and I would be happy to fix it.

FLAC/flac works in a pre-release, and OggFlac is close, but has a couple

I've accepted patches before. I'll accept them again but I often do
ask for minor changes or bash on them myself before they go in.

There's a libsndfile-devel mailing list for working on this sort of
stuff:

If you have a patch to post, don't bother about waiting around to
get a feel for the list. Just dump it on us :-).
