flac dev - Feb 2012 - The XMMS plugin

I still use this, though on Gentoo, not Debian or Ubuntu. It was removed 
from the Gentoo tree years ago, also, but still compiles and runs just 
fine if you pull the old e-builds from their CVS. I'm happy to help test 
it there.

I also apply the attached patch in my builds, which makes its handling 
of the PERFORMER and ARTIST tags identical to that of the Vorbis plugin, 
which is useful when you want to transcode from FLAC to Vorbis without 
retagging things just to get them to show up the same way in the XMMS 
track list.

Ok, it you're willing to pull the code out of git now and then and test
it, it can stay in the tree.

Just out of interest, what would I need to install to make sure this
thing compiles? Do I need the old XMMS sources?

Also, have you looked at XMMS2 or some of the others as a replacement?

Applied. Thanks.
