I've got a bunch of flac files and need to report their length. With MP3s, you use `mp3info -x $filename` But is there a way to find out the length (minutes:seconds or just seconds) of a flac audio file, without converting it to WAV first?

I installed a Promise SuperTrak SX6000 ATA RAID controller on 4.8-RELEASE. The following message is logged when the device is under load (equivalent of make release): pst: timeout mfa=0x00327b90 cmd=WRITE Should I be concerned? Does the I/O fail and the driver simply not report the failure to the application? -- Scott

...versions of OGG encoders can make 20k sound that good yet? I'd love to do the switch, and help promote ogg files to the world. (We get 100,000 unique users a week, listening to the RealAudio clips now.

...lo-fi, right? I'm DYING to ditch RealAudio from our site! Hell if Ogg can sound that good on a 33.6k modem, I'll go be an Ogg evangelist to 30,000 musicians and 200,000 customers.
