Ah!  I just uninstalled the FreeBSD port, and just installed the raw tarball
using ./configure ; gmake ; gmake install - and it works great!

So - I guess the FreeBSD port is broken.  It says last updated 2001, though
it's
using the newest version of FLAC.  Strange.  Wish I knew how to fix ports.

No, it doesn't say that.
