[LAU] best FLAC player?

[david]

You know what's weird? Mplayer plays FLAC files just fine here, whether 
from a playlist or all by itself. Of course, so does Kaffeine.

FWIW, it reports the length of MP3 files wrong, too - it reports one of 
my own recordings at 5m08s but the song only runs 2m22s ...
