flac dev - Sep 2004 - any simple command-line unix flac players?

For my MP3 files on my FreeBSD box, I can type mpg123 to play them.
For WAV files, I can use wavplay, but it can't take stdin.

Does FLAC have a simple command-line player for Linux/BSD anywhere?

the latest version of mplayer supports flac playback, and it works great
as a command line only player.

I ended up answering my own question by writing one, using only sox.

Named it "flacplay" and put it in /usr/local/bin/.  Cheap workaround.


#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls *.flac`
do
        flac -sdc $i | sox -t wav - -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
done

Recent versions of alsaplayer can play FLACs (use -i text for a text-mode
UI).

play(1) from sox accepts stdin, I believe.
