[Flac-dev] command-line: AIFF writer advice

The patch I submitted only reads AIFF files.  I'm about to start the patch
to
write AIFF files.

To do so, we need a command-line option to specify AIFF.  My inclination is to
add an option:

  -ff { raw | wav | aif }

In some sense, "-ff" is silly since it probably stands for
"format format".
Still, I think it's better than just "-f", since the first
"f" specifies the
entire format option group.

Does this seem reasonable?

Initially, the default will still always be wav.  OSX users are likely to want
AIFF as the default, though, so eventually I'll add a configuration option
to
set the default format for decompression.
