FLAC and Ogg/FLAC are different formats -- native FLAC uses its own
encapsulation rather than Ogg. libsndfile [post 1.0.11] will automagically
get Ogg/FLAC support after libfishsound gets [lib]FLAC support. Native
FLAC support in libsndfile will require a new flac format handler (which,
incidentally, will be very similar code to the fishsound handler).
If any of that paragraph made sense to you, and you'd like to help Erik
and I with developing FLAC support, please get in touch :)
