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 :)
I would very much like to be able to record and read ogg/vorbis and
ogg/flac files in ecasound[0]. I'm not an experienced coder, but I can
read C/C++ (at least a little ... ) and I am an experienced sysadmin, so
I can help test and debug. Let me know what I can do to help.

[0] I know ecasound already does ogg/vorbis via vorbize/ogg123, but it
seems to me it would be better to use the file formats via libsndfile
rather than piping data to separate encoder/decoder programs.
Is it mean
that libsndfile will have FLAC support in the near future ?
It does if you're
volunteering to do it :-).
Thats only a half smilie, because the coming Ogg support in libsndfile
is almost totally the work of Conrad Parker.
